It's a fan quilt, made of wool, and wool blend scraps, and the embroidery on it is so beautiful. I stood and admired it for a long time. I took some closeups of some of the centers of the fans, shown below.
The embroidery is a different design around the outside edge of the fan shapes, and each circle center is a different design. Just beautiful!
Next is another striking quilt called Summer Wedding, also made by Mary Chalmers, and it was inspired by a 1930's quilt:
I hope you enjoy today's pictures from the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show. There will be more pictures tomorrow.
