I think I tend to lean towards colour first... the bright purples and blues and greens attract me... actually, anything really bright does it.
There were a lot of art quilts, but because I don't really get them I tended not to photograph them.
There was a large section devoted to the ANZACs too, which is the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. They fought at Gallipoli and we're fiercly proud of them.
There is definitely a huge difference between countries. What has struck me the most is the traditional aspect out of America, there's a lot of traditional blocks, colour schemes, with modern twists as well.
I buy a British magazine every now and then and they have a different style again.
And that, my dear Watson, is the beauty of the internet. The world is at our fingertips. We have instant access to the greatest quilts and quilters this planet has to offer. No matter what our preferred method or style, we can find kindred spirits, support, advice, tips, and new skills.
It's great to be a quilter today. :-)
