Actually, the Best of Show winner at Paducah this year was a Peacock quilt (albeit a paisley one).

The quintessential peacock quilt was the one done by Pat Campbell (Jacobean applique and the designer of Fossil Ferns) years ago. It was STUNNING. I just can't find a picture of it right now. I can vividly see it my head. GORGEOUS.
