Just to keep it all in the family for a moment, here's a quilt pieced by my mother Meg Suderman as a commission and handquilted by by the person who commissioned it. My mother got the pattern and a stack of batiks and had fun putting the colours together. I tried to persuade her to include a few wonky stars, but because it wasn't her quilt, she didn't feel free to experiment. I hadn't seen the completed quilt, and it definitely glowed with all those fun colours.
This appliqued one is made by Pearl Braun-Dyck for her husband. She's a very good applique-r and handquilter, but along the way got frustrated with handquilting black on black, so sent it out to be machine quilted just to get it off the UFO pile. So up close, it was obvious that some parts were hand quilted and others not, however it is quilted, it is still a great quilt.
These two quilts were made by Evelyn Hoeppner and I like them for their scrappiness. The log cabin one was one of two she had made using old silk ties. I have a bunch of ties too, but I'm not sure how to cut them down without a lot of frustration with all the bias edges.

All of these are lovely quilts. Thanks for sharing.
Love, love, love your quilt - it is so vibrant and fun! It is really glowing. My favorite out of all of them
; )
Love your aunt's quilt. Has she been inspired by her niece?
Your mother's and your aunt's quilts were two of my favorites in the show, aside from yours of course. I still love wonky houses and letters the best.
Talented family and beautiful quilts! I love those fabric splurges too. That was a fun quilt show :-)
