Airing of the Quilts Show

I showed you a couple of Bill's quilts he had on display, but I neglected to show you these beauties.

What a special quilt! Look at the photo below.

I love how they changed it. 

Grand Illusion. designed by Bonnie Hunter. I sent her a text photo while I was there. She is always thrilled to see quilts that others have made from her designs.
I thought this was unusual, but whimsical and modern too.


 Of course, I love seeing wool work.
These were more from Bill's collection. If I remember correctly his mom purchased this and held onto for years and only recently given it to the Bill Volckening collection. :)


 This one was amazing. I'd like to examine it closer and see exactly how they put it together.

I love this tree!!



 One of his latest acquisitions. Hoot -Hoot!
On our way to the coast we saw this barn with quilt blocks! 

Have a fantastic weekend!

    Thanks for the quilt show. Do you think the amazing quilt (picture 9) is made of different fabrics or is it a psychedelic sampler quilt that is drawn and that you color as you wish?

      A 1970's crazy quilt and looks like it was amazingly difficult to put together!! And it is made with all different fabrics.
      I hope you see this Carole, because you are no-reply and I have no email address.

    I'm fascinated by the reworking of that first quilt. It would never have occurred to me to do such a thing, but how delightful it looks!
    Really love the tree quilt, but there are so many interesting quilts here.

    That crazy quilt intrigues me. I am wondering what are the black lines? I think this must qualify as an "Everything but the kitchen sink" quilt!

    I agree, the Tree Quilt is gorgeous. I also fell in love with the Fort Quilt that had Grandmother's Flower blocks in the front. Great eye candy for the weekend! Thank you!

    I like the pine tree quilt. Those blocks look easier to piece than the block I just made. And I like that it has a few triangles in red.

    The floral quilt on black is a special looking wall quilt. I assume it is wool on cotton.

    Oh I loved these! That first quilt is so interesting. I love what they made from the thrift store find. I also love those ginormous circles with the hearts inside :0) Great tree of life quilt too!
