Yes, that is what I thought I remembered the pattern was called, but I google searched it and came up blank.

The first quilt show I ever went to I had nobody to "share" with. I knew absolutely NO-ONE who quilted. Sharing these few pictures with everyone here is a big part of my enjoyment of them - the second time around. I enjoy discussing them as well.

I like almost all types of quilts. Traditional, new-vogue, etc. I think this show had a nice selection of a lot of different types of quilts. One of my favorites types though that I will almost always Oooh and Ahhh over are quilts made of tiny pieces. I was so happy to find several wonderful examples. I'm also amazed at some of the "simple" patterns that when completed are stunning - the Tiny Tumblers, the tiny 4 patch, the many diamonds, and the one I had marked 1st as a Log Cabin but turns out it's only large HST's with amazing quilting. Blows my mind!!!

The first quilt is Jack's chain, my MIl made one like this, but passed away before she could get it quilted, so someday I will finish it for her. She had the quilting pattern already marked on it.
