An Amazing Quilt at a Quilt Show
 

I was at a quilt show in No. CA yesterday and saw this amazing quilt and wanted to share!

Wowser! Awesome quilt!

That is gorgeous, but I can't even begin to imagine how someone made that! I know . . . my instructor keeps telling me, one block at a time . . . but even so . . . WOW!

That is amazing. It doesn't show any ribbons. I would have thought it would have won a lot. Great design and use of color as well as quilting.

OMG!!! That's a quilt, I sure hope it was a prize winner...

What an amazing quilt!

I forgot to add that most of it is applique work. :)

Going along with another thread, how many think it is over quilted?

Not me. I think it is awsome. I love it.

I think it is one amazing piece of work!

Way out of my league. Beautiful.

Truly spectacular! Wish that was mine....lol. Thanks for sharing.

That is so beautiful...it must be hand appliqued and so perfectly! Takes my breath away!

that is truly amazing

That is INsane...I can't imagine where to start. Beautiful.

That is a beautiful quilt!!

That is amazing! It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us.

Absolutely fabulous! And thank you so much for showing it to us and WELCOME to the Quilting Board. Show us your work too.

I know what you mean about over quilting but to me this one is not over quilted--it still looks soft and supple. This is a great quilt. I wonder how long it took them to do it?

Now thats a very stunning quilt.

Yes, I agree, over quilted. Takes away from all that beautiful applique.

That is a beautiful work of art....I, too, tend to like a less quilting look, but seems for shows everything is quilted quite heavily....

that is gorgeous - a true work of art

That is beautiful. wish I knew the pattern name...might put it on my bucket list. I love applique' and am working on some now. Doe's anyone know the pattern name?

Wow! Thanks for sharing...it's awesome!

Wow wow wow

That was my first thought too. Wowzer!!!

That is seriously gorgeous!! I tried to get in close to see what kind of applique (needle turn? hand? raw edge machine? I can't tell). I don't think it was over quilted at all - I think the quilting design was just right.

I too am surprised there are no ribbons on it.

I want to add that yesterday I was at Navy Pier in Chicago and looking at the Stained Glass museum and I took several pictures thinking "quilting designs" and quite a few remind me of this quilt. Way beyond my capability but I'm glad someone was able to do it to (perhaps) inspire me.

thanks for sharing.

That is an amazing quilt. Absolutly stunning. I don't think it was over quilted. The quilting took absolutly nothing from the design. Just starting to get into some applique myself. Maybe some day I will do something equally as stunning! Thanks for sharing. Also hoping to make it to a large quilt show some day. I just love seeing everyones creations!

that is amazing, quilted like rays of light

It is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it.

Boy is that pretty!!!

It's very much like Ricky Tim's work. I am looking at some of his and they are super close. His are all done with this very fine adh. Web. Beautiful though and the quilting only adds to the beauty.

Absolutely stunning! Gorgeous!!!! :thumbup: The quilting complements the design - simple, uncomplicated. I can see where some quilts are quilted heavily and can detract from the design but I think that this one has been done in good taste. Quilting in itself is its own art and not everyone can quilt beautifully either by hand or machine. We should applaud the effort. One person's taste may not appeal to another. Thank you for sharing the picture. It is lovely.

I only asked the question. I don't personally think it is over quilted.

Amazing!! such talant

Who has the time and energy to put into a quilt like this. It is awesome. It should win best of show, it is sew beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

What an incredible work of art! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.

Stunning quilt. I believe the strong,close quilting strengthens/texturizes the mosaic composition. Colors are beautifully selected for this appealing design. Thanks for sharing this quilt artist's work.
