Favorites

It is always hard to choose a favorite from the show since there are so many wonderful quilts.

This one is done by Tonye Belinda Phillips and totally made me crack up!! She followed the swirls on the border with her quilting and it looked fantastic.

Here's another one of Tonye's with lots of tiny baskets.
Sue Spargo's work is lovely as usual. Tonye and Sue are collaborating! Can you imagine?!




I've always admired Mary Lou Weidman style quilts.

Great use of fabric. I love the bottom border.
Here is Randy with her "Everything" quilt. As I am scrounging through my scraps and bins I am holding out any little misc blocks and pieces so I can make one like this. I think it turned out fantastic!!  This quilt did not sell at the show so if anybody is interested contact her or I can put you in touch with her.

P.S. I passed 500 followers and plan on having a giveaway soon!! Be on the lookout.

Enjoy the weekend!!

  4. Great quilts....I love Sue Spargo's quilt with the dashed lines, and I think how different it would have looked if she had just used a plain solid line.....it's fabulous!

    Congrats on your 500! Love your blog!

  6. Such a colorful post! For the last year, I have been putting leftover hst, goofy blocks and orphan blocks in a bag in hopes of making a mishmash "free" quilt from them. I like the name everything quilt! Mine won't be as nice as Randy's but it will be
    interesting...............

  10. The first quilt made me laugh out loud--looks like a tipsy peacock!
    Randy's quilt is very fun! I made a top like that many years ago with leftover bits from quilts my Mom, myself and my daughter had made. Still not quilted.
    Congrats on the 500 followers! I am closing in on 50 and was considering a give away for that meager milestone--you gotta start somewhere. : )

  18. Some funny quilts there!
    Love that last one, what Gwen Marston calls Random Samplers. I have stacks of lonesome blocks just itching to be included in something like that!

  20. Thanks for sharing all the fun quilts. Not a traditional one in the bunch. Tonye is a wonderfully talented lady. The unique setting and fabrics of her basket quilt make that one a favorite of mine.
    Randy's random sampler is one of a kind. Love it.
