Quilt Show Today
 

A local guild holds a show every other year, and I attended today. I took loads and loads of pictures, and have decided I'd like to post them here in batches of 5-7 at a time, and let's have a little "Viewer's Choice" going in the comments below each batch. Whaddya say?

The theme of the show was "Maryland, My Maryland," which explains why you will see (later) some crabs, boats, black-eyed Susans, and other state symbols.

Here's Batch 1. I sure hope these are turned the right way. If not, sorry.

All great. My vote goes to number 1.

Nice quilts. Thanks for postng the lovely pictures. I like #4.

My vote would be the hst's w/ the applique

I collected bird houses for years, and love birds and applique, so #6 it is!

If #1 is appliquéd I vote for it.

Thanks for sharing. #1 gets my vote.

#6. They’re all great.

All are beautiful, but I will have to vote for #4. I love the way the colors seem to glow on that one!

I like all of them.

I too am a bird lover so I will go with #1 although I also like the birdhouses.

They are all beautiful. My vote is for number 5.

They are all beautiful!! And I have never liked house quilts before, but number 2 gets my vote

Well, isn't that something!

I love birds, so I was drawn to the bird quilts, and I love bright colors and loops, so the scrappy on black was mesmerizing, but it was number 5 , the two color HST with applique that gets my top vote. Mainly because I can never picture myself having the patience to do it myself, and I could see excellence close-up.

Cast your vote by number. I'll keep a tally of Viewers' Choice from each batch.

Those are all so pretty that it's hard to pick a favorite. I will have to go with #1 for my first pick (I think...:)) Thanks for taking the pictures & sharing them with us.

Number 2 and number 7

#4. But i like #3 also.

#7 and #9. Sorry, I am struck with 2!

From these, which is your fave?

Zozee, we had so much fun in Maryland on our vacation! And being with our son and dil made it extra special. We ate so much seafood !!! My husband is ready to move :)

It's #1 for me! thanks for posting!

I vote for #5 of the first batch for overall favorite. All those triangles, with the applique blocks, and only 2 colors (white and black?) makes for a striking quilt. Thanks for taking the photos and sharing.

me too. Gorgeous applique and oh my, so many HSTs

My second vote goes for #12. I love McKenna Ryan's artistry. Appreciate the work involved in all the string quilts, but my OCD needs more order, so #12 it is. LOL

Well they are all great! I am torn between #4 and #10. Number #4 is probably the most challenging one but #10 steals my heart :)

beautiful, I love # 2 but I am also drawn to the black and white quilt

Have you all seen all 16 I’ve ppsted? I know it’s easy to just see the first part and not realuze I have been posting pictures in batches.

I would write more comments but the stupid Amazon ads are getting on my last nerve. Using my phone... obnoxious popups!

Batch 4 Today. Cast your vote.
