The theme of many of my snaps here is Autumn. Little quilts and miniquilts abound. The show featured 300+, but I'll share a sampling with the QB.

Raffle Quilt, valued at $3500.00 was won by the volunteer selling raffle tickets; the crowd laughed and cheered her. you know... like, maybe... only in easy breezy Kalamazoo would such a coincidence NOT be a scandal!

Beautiful quilts! Loved the French Braid!

Very nice, the french braid is stunning

Thanks for sharing the pics with us! :) Pretty raffle quilt too~

What I learned at the Kalamazoo Quilts Show:
1) while storing Antique quilts, take them out for an airing once a year (when you change the battery in your smoke alarm).
2) Re-fold quilts along Diagonal lines, prevents undue stress on vertical and horizontal seams.
3) Take more cash, small local vendors can't take plastic at the show! :(
4) for $5, a CD with ALL the 300+ quilts is available from the guild. My sampling doesn't show the bedsize quilts.
