The winning quilt, Fresh & Bold, is there; you just have to page through the media.

beautiful= guys are so creative & color (coordinated)... when ever i have a problem figuring out what fabrics will work i ask one of the guys in my world- they always know best! we have lots of men quilters in our family- us girls used to only make clothes- apparel items.

My boys will love this! I've been teaching my 8 yrs GS & 12 yr old neighbor how to quilt. Can't wait to show them that their desires can produce some amazing results.

Way to go I have never entered a quilt in a contest but but I admire those that do. Great job keep it up.

Sienna's GiGi 06-11-2012 09:38 AM

Aren't male quilters the best. I really do enjoy thier work. They bring such a fresh perspective to quilting.

sosewcrazy 06-11-2012 09:48 AM

Loved it! Did any of you fellow WV quilters attend last week's shop hop? It was my first and I sure did enjoy it!

I did the shop hop last week, that was my 3 time doing it

Beautiful quilt! Congrats and thanks for the posting!

ILoveToQuilt 06-11-2012 01:47 PM

Nice to see his quilts and that his favorite is the Oriental one. I am in the process of binding the same quilt (and it's my favorite, too). Pattern is called "Fireworks" and was from QNM, April 2001. Originally made by Kyoko Honda using kimono silks. I adore this quilt and so glad someone else does too! Loved to see his version which is so different from mine. Glad to see a man win a show, too.

Momma_K 06-11-2012 02:56 PM

Isn't that something!!? And he made history at that!! They really are beautiful quilts..

ejpkam 06-11-2012 03:32 PM

LadyElisabeth 06-11-2012 07:06 PM

Sometimes guys use the "other" side of their brain and their quilts are so fantastic.

Carol Jean 06-12-2012 04:37 PM

So pretty, and the colors just dance around your eyes. Beautiful job! Carol Jean from WV
