There was no shortage of beautiful quilts at QuiltCon. There was something there to fit everyone's tastes.
What I learned while taking in all of this quilty goodness was that I tend to gravitate towards designs that either gives a nod toward traditional quilting or are very scrappy. Here are my favorites from the show.
Best in show went to "Double Edged Love" by Victoria Findlay Wolfe of the NYC Modern Quilt Guild. This is a very interesting take on the Double Wedding Ring pattern. The quilting on this is phenomenal.
This is me and my favorite Denyse Schmidt quilt, "Works Special Edition tangerine/poppy". Orange is one of my favortie colors and I love the simplicity of this quilt.
My absolute favorite in the show was RGB Modern by Sherri Lynn Wood. Her work is amazing to me. I love the movement of this quilt, not to mention the scrappiness of it. Love the hand quilting.
But of all the quilts that were displayed in Austin, the vintage quilts from the personal collection of Roderick Kiracofe spoke to me the most. All of these quilts are featured in his latest book, simply entitled "Quilts".
Scrappy, lovey, folksy, quilty goodness. For me, this is what quilts are supposed to be. I aspire to create works that look and feel like this.
Well, so as not to bore you all with yet another post about QuiltCon, I believe this will be the last one, although I reserve the right to refer to it as often as necessary.
Join me on Wednesday, as I try to prioritize all of my pending projects.
