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.
