Local quilt show

I'm  giving you a sample of some of the quilts at a show raising funds for the work of Mennonite Central Committee.
This leaf one at the left was raffled off. I didn't win it , but I know the woman who did. I like the scrappiness of this nine patch hourglass quilt at right.

This batik beauty was a work in progress at our January quilt retreat.

The crazy quilt at left was an estate sale find and embroidery on one of the squares says it was made between 1880 and 1930. The floral applique blocks at right were rescued from a thrift shop.



The show had some donated quilts for sale to raise fund. This is one I would have purchased if it wasn't made of polycotton broadcloth. I like the graphic nature of it, but not the sheen of the fabric. So I left it there for someone else to enjoy.

The colours in that last quilt and gorgeous. Such a pity about the fabric.

I love the leaves quilt. I adore the Autumn and the colours in it are very "me". The lady who won that must have been over the moon.

I like the batik squares the best.

that polyester quilt would be a great quilt to use outdoors and anywhere sunny - you know it would never fade.
