Quilt Show

On Saturday, I took my sister into New York for a quilt show. A quilt made by a friend was being displayed there. I also took some pictures of other quilts I liked, and I've posted a few shots here.

My son with the "Monster Quilt"


This small quilt was made of hexagonal "squares", the thing that most impressed me about it was the detail, the photo does not do it justice, but in each hex segment, there were several little faceted beads which caught the light (this is the photo's weakness), along with being multi-layered (folded?).
This quilt was just enchanting, combining a trio of island/African dressed women playing basketball, I really liked this one.
Colors of this quilt, made up of a "fish-eye" view of a skyline and a view of the Brooklyn Bridge, were just spectacular.
A docent shows off the level of work put in piecing this quilt on BOTH sides.
