It is a quilt because it has 2 layers of fabric plus batting, held together by thread. I feel so guilty!! I think is a very well done piece of art, but I don't like it. I can appreciate the details in it and the huge effort and creativity, but I still don't like it. I can go on forever pointing out how well made it is, but at the end,I still don't like it.
Oh well, I guess she will laugh her way to the bank while I am here pointing out how I don't like it.

Yes, $20,000 at this show. It has won many other awards at other shows too. There were some quilts that won this year that has been in shows since 2008. Paducah is the last place most are shown because the quilter has to give up the quilt to get the money.

The big winners quilts are for the AQS Museum in Paducah.
I saw this quilt up close and talked to Sue McCarty, the winner. The work was amazing and perfect. I asked her where she bought the black fabric and she said at Bayside Quilting. I saw many other quilts that were definitely prettier to me but I think the idea of no piecing or appliqué at all made this quilt so different from the others.
