More Quilt Show Photos

As promised, I'm blogging today about some of the other fabulous quilts that I saw down in Chicago at the IQF last weekend. There were many more that I would have liked to have photographed, but show rules prohibited photographs in some areas. In particular, I'd loved this set of three quilts that were part of a sense of place-type theme and showed the San Francisco Bay area and what floodplain recovery might look like. They looked like topographical maps and were beautiful.

So are all of these: a veritable feast for the eyes. Enjoy!
