Local quilt show


I went to my local guild's quilt show over the weekend. There were some quilts I thought were great.
First is my friend  Claire's quilt based on the blocks she made during my sow-a-long. I love how she made the border!



Then I saw this quilt with some very small pieces! I think the squares are maybe 1@!


I am a big lover of Lori Smith's patterns. I loved this quilt:


Do you remember the Just Takes 2 project a bunch of us did? It was done in red and white . Here is the original color scheme followed by a version  in 1930s fabrics. I really like how it turned out that way. She substituted some blocks and I think I actually like it better with the 30s fabrics. Maybe I'm still sick of it!! Mine is with my machine quilter!

    What a great setting of Claire's Barrister's Blocks!
    I'm glad I am not the one who had to square up all of those HSTs! Very stunning effect!
    I really like the JT2 in the 30s prints!

    Every one of them is just amazingly beautiful. I really love the red and white version of Just takes two....but that one in 30's fabric is a WOW.
