Winner traditional applique
 

The Quilt Show has a picture on its web site of the Houston Internat'l QS winner in traditional applique. The quilt is, obviously, breath taking beautiful. However it is unusual in that it is appliqued flowers and the full blooms are small Dresden plates and the buds are partial Dresden plates. It is definitely worth taking a look.

If some of you attended the show and took pictures, please post them for those of us who could not attend. Thank you.

Your link goes directly to a pieced quilt with no dresdens.... do you know the name of the quilt you're talking about?

Hope this link helps. Some beautiful quilts here.

When I click on the link it opens on the right place. Did you zoom in on the quilt so that it enlarges enough so that you can see the flowers are actually very small Dresden plates? I don't know why it didn't work for you.

Absolutely Gorgeous!!

That was weird - the first time I clicked on your link, it took me to a pieced quilt that had lots of striped fabric in it. I closed that window and clicked the link again, and it took me to the same quilt with stripes. I wonder if the link was cached in my browser or something.

I DID see the quilt you're talking about when I was in Houston - the element of that quilt that absolutely amazed me? Those absolutely perfect yellow circles. They are so perfectly round and poofy, they look like buttons!

Here's a close-up I took of that quilt.

Beautiful quilt, those tiny circles are perfect. I love applique quilts!!

This quilt is absolute perfection....everything. Thanks for shareing this.

Beautiful quilt, her work is spectacular.

This is unbelievable, the tiny appliqued dresdens are so pretty!!

thank you for posting this, it is a beautiful quilt, definitely deserving 1st place.

Look closely Peggy. Those flowers ARE Dresdens!

Sigh. I DID look closely. As I said earlier, her link originally went to a completely different quilt - THIS was the quilt I saw, and I clicked on her link TWICE.

Obviously, the link is working correctly now. I sure wish I could just delete my first post in this thread!

Absolutely gorgious! What a lot of time must have went into it. It deserved the prize.

Thanks so much....amazing!

Interesting to note, from looking at that close up, that she combined both handquilting and machine quilting. Happy to know that someone else, besides me, does that. Beautiful work - would like to be sitting next to her when she did those circles! Amazing!

That is really beautiful I would like to see the whole quilt it must be gorgeous. Sue

Very Beautiful!

Your close up looks much better then what I see on their website, even with the zoom in tool.
