Thanks so much for sharing these fabulous quilts.....my favorite one is the artsy chocolate one....but they are all fantastic.

Love them all but my all time favorite is the crazy patch. It is so soft, looks misty and heathery. Beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to show these.

Wow, thank you SO much for sharing. Just love to be able to "attend" quilt shows all over the world. Isn't the internet amazing? Can't decide what my favorite is...doesn't matter as all are great. That little log cabin has such tiny pieces....what patience. Again, thanks:)!!!

What a treat to see these quilts. Thank you so much for taking the time to take pictures and post. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite they were all fabulous. The log cabin mini, thank you so much for getting your finger in the pic to give us scale. My jaw literally dropped when I saw how small it was.

Thanks PurpleBecca, so nice of you to take the time to do this (I gained 3 lbs just looking at the chocolate section)!

lovely, just lovely. Especially the brown and cream one with DP's and circles.

That thumbnail shot of the log cabin is amazing. It just blows me away that somebody can be so precise with such tiny pieces. The world is abound with talent! Beautiful quilts at that show. Thanks for sharing.

Gilly,
Hydrangreas was probably done with the Petal Play way. They have a website. I've used their technique on a few quilts.

Thanks for the show! Ya'll do some great work over there!

All the quilts are amazing. I really like the log cabin mini.

There are some unique patterns there! Thank you so much for letting use see!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post the photos. I can't believe I got to see quilts from a show in Ireland. What a wonderful world we live in.

Wow, that was a great show....it would be so very hard to a judge as all of your photos look like winners to me.

Thanks for sharing , Beautiful quilts love them all. :) :)

The miniature log cabin is amazing. The crazy quilt is so soft and feminine. My favorite is the chocolate decadence that was varied strips. Very creative.

wonderful quilts would be hard to pick a favorite I loved them all thank you so much for posting

What a great post. Love looking at others ideas and wonderful work.
I agree with you on the hand quilt. How wonderful is that

I was fortunate enough to travel to Ireland from Texas. What a great experience. Love Ireland and the Irish people. My friend quilted the winner floral quilt. She is an amazing quilter. The embroidered crazy quilt is the first one I have ever seen that makes me want to do one.
Thanks for posting the pictures.
