Of all the quilts I saw at the show, this one delighted me. Those kitties are so whimsical! I selected this quilt as my Viewer’s Choice.

I fell in love with the trees in the above quilt.

I find it very difficult to throw scraps away, so I really appreciate the vibrant beauty of this quilt. It may inspire me to make one of my own!

This quilt resulted from a guild challenge. Participants were given vintage blocks to incorporate into a quilt.

What makes this quilt so striking is not so much the fans, but the meticulous quilting.

I can’t make swirls. I can’t even draw them. I’ve very impressed with these.

I think you’ll agree that Arizona has some remarkably skillful quilters.
