Yikes, I forgot to post my Monday AM post last night. I usually write it before I go to bed. But please forgive me, I'm old. (I used to do things like this when I was young too, but now I feel I have an excuse). lol
So, since I'm not at my design wall, let me show you a quilt I liked from the recent Grand Rapids AQS exhibit. There was a group of quilts off to one side that were entirely hand pieced and hand quilted......my favorites!
This was an Ocean Waves quilt with great colors:
I loved the pinwheel centers, the hourglass setting squares, and the touch of cheddar that added so much to the quilt. Here's the full quilt:
I had to study it for a bit to decide if the cheddar was random, or placed in a certain spot....and saw that there was a "pattern" to the cheddar placement.
It is always the middle triangle of the hst strip that is towards the light part of the hourglass block. It is such a beautiful quilt. Two more pictures:
What are working on this week? I am back in Grand Rapids, and am organizing the small/doll quilts again. I have a goal of having a label and hanging triangles on each one, and there is a pile of them waiting for me to get that done.
Thanks for participating, it always pleases me to see what you are doing. Please, as always, I ask that you link back to this particular blog post from somewhere within your blog post.

Thanks for sharing photos of the Ocean Waves quilt. The consistent yellow HST really make it snap!
P.S. It took me a while to realize that after setting a time-to-publish you have to also press "publish"!
Such a beautiful Ocean Waves quilt. I love the bright colors which is rare in older quilts. Thank you for sharing. I disagree with you - You are NOT old :-)
That is a beautiful Ocean Waves quilt--love the cheddar and red together as the featured fabrics. Thanks for sharing, and hosting!
sometimes I even write the post to drop in on a certain time, but forget to publish! No worries!

I think the cheddar in that quilt is what really made it come alive. It's gorgeous!
(I used to do things like this when I was young too, but now I feel I have an excuse). lol Oh so me, too. Great quilt there.
Thanks for sharing the antique quilt photo, Judy, especially for the close ups of the hand quilting! Beautiful workmanship!

I see why you liked it. Magnificent! I too like that bit of cheddar.
Hi Judy, thanks for sharing that lovely hand quilted beauty.
Wow, that is one mighty beautiful quilt! I'm working on a series of tote bags, some with zippered cat block pockets quilted before being added to the totes. Just 3 more to go!
great quilt
