First Quilt Show of 2013

Yesterday I went to the "Heart of the Valley Quilt Show" put on by the Country Crossroads Quilters of Modesto CA.

There were two challenges at this show, one was called "The Doors of Modesto" and the other had 24 quilters do a quilt with colors of the color wheel.

Pictures of the Doors of Modesto quilts:

This quilt was made from selvages. how creative and time consuming:
 
 
Here's a closer look:

Beady Eyes:
 
 
 
Dresses anyone?
 
 
 

This waterfall quilt was amazing, it looks like the water is pouring into the pool below.
 
 
A few other quilts I enjoyed:
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed the show.
 
Til next time, Ronda

    Ronda, it looks like they had a lot of variety at the show. The first picture you took looks like it's of paintings, especially the purple door with the white chair. I'm so boring with my 2 1/2" squares, but it's what I'm comfortable with so I'll stick with them.

      Rose it was a medium sized show, it did have a good variety. You're an expert at 2 1/2 inch squares.

      Wish the pictures were better, hard to get at a busy quilt show.

    Hi Rhonda, I visited your blog but didn't had time to leave a comment. The quilts are beautiful and I'm amazed that someone would go to the trouble to save all the salvage to make a quilt. It must have taken a lot of time and thread. Thanks for sharing.

    I still haven't received any visit from Vicki about the Grow your Blog Party and my blog name name is still not on her list.

      Hi Julia, I wonder if the person who did the selvage quilt had friends donate thei selveges to her?

      Did you email Vicki about the GYB party? I can see how she might accidentally miss someone with over 400 participants.

      Hi Angi, I'm familiar with Hawaiin quilts, they are beautiful. How lucky to have 3 of them. If you want to try quilting go for it, you can do something small to see if you like it. If you don't like it, nothing lost but a little time.
