What a pleasure to see such original and varied works (and not a D9P in the bunch! :wink: ). They are all magnificent.

The log cabin was wonderful - a great setting on a traditional quilt, as was the PP (?) spiky spiral mandela type quilt. That one really piqued my interest. The reverse applique quilts were also gorgeous. And those tiny teeny folded pieces of fabric - amazing.

Thanks so much for sharing.

I am so glad everyone is enjoying the quilts. There was no reverse applique. If you mean the ones at the beginning, they are Hawaii style and then are all needleturn. However they are not yet quilted.

WOW!!
I was in Barcelona and Sitges 38 years ago but never knew such as this at that time, what a treat!! The diversity is so intriguing; but my Americanism shows in my preference for the log cabin quilts.

The brown with the aqua shapes - it's very interesting in a primitive sort of way.

The needleturn applique quilts were wonderful.

Thanks just gone to have a look again, This was the quilt they used on their advertising billboards and at a guess it was all black bias, very different.

Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea I'd be going to a quilt show in Spain on U.S. National Quilting Day.

Thanks for sharing all these pictures Elle. You have become the download diva!

Thanks Penny, I have some pictures of Barcelona City to post which will really interest you all but it will have to be in the morning now, too tired after my trip.

Those I would love to see. Thanks for telling me. I will look for the thread. Just let me know the topic you post them under.

That was fun to see all your pictures of some of the quilts! My son lives in Madrid,Spain. I think I need to plan a trip for this time next year, with maybe a stop in Barcelona? lol

Fascinating to see what people are doing in lovely Spain. I wonder what textile traditions influence them? I know they are good at lace, but where do they get their ideas from otherwise?
Muy bonitas!

What such a great variety of quilts. Thanks for taking the time to post them all for us. So different than the ones we see here in northeastern Pa.

Thank you for a great show. I always have know I have no patience, so it boggles my mind, the things that some of these quilters have done and accomplished. Amazing!

nabobw 03-20-2011 05:32 AM

Wonderful I sure would love to have been there

Thank you for sharing. The small folded pieces of fabric, are they prairie points? That is what they look like.

Yes I think so but miniturised the pieces she worked on were about 3/4" square and she folded it and then sewed each piece on individually, must have taken forever to a whole one.

Treasureit 03-20-2011 06:00 AM

Those are awesome....I really like the 3rd and 4th - sort of Hawaiian looking, but with more detail.

Jo so was I, everytime we walked into another room, we all went, oh wow. In real life they were much more vibrant. The hawaiin quilts were not quilted and I would have liked to have seen them quilted but the workmanship was outstanding.

I meant to tell you all the artist from Michigan... Lenore Crawford has a site and you can buy her patterns for 9$.

dreamer2009 03-20-2011 07:19 AM

Elle,
these are all so outstanding.
what a lovely variety of styles that are displayed here.
I am so in love with the 3 flower series right after the Russian photos.
Shows so much movement in them and looks like my favorite flower.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us...HUGS

Thanks for sharing. It is so interesting to see the world of fabric, thread, color, patterns, and themes that we call "quilting."

PolkaBabe 03-20-2011 07:59 AM

Oh My stars these are wonderful. You had to have been in 7th heaven as the saying goes. The first ones you posted were they appliqued? Thank you for sharing, I now feel like I participated in National Day of Quilting, especially since I was working. I work at a fabric shop. :)

Dianne1 03-20-2011 08:00 AM

Thank you for sharing. They are all so beautiful and so many different techiques.
