Pensacola Quilt Show

Back in March, I went to the Pensacola Quilt Show with a group of quilting friends... and I'm finally getting around to sharing some pictures..  Procrastination in my middle name! ;-)





There were so many beautiful quilts!  Here are a few of my favorites.

When I look at a quilt, I always try to see how it was made-- because one day, I might like to try to make one of my own...  :-)  (Imitation is the greatest compliment!)  These first three appear to be made using versions on a Dresden Fan or Dresden Plate...  Beautiful!  :-)



The next two look to be Snail's Trail type blocks?  Cute monkies!  :-)



These two quilts were made using Oriental prints, which I just love!



There were several "stack & whack" type quilts, which are some of my favorites- --they  are just so much fun to make!

The next four pictures are just random.. sweet little appliqued bunnies,  florals, string blocks, a pretty star-type pattern, and yo yo's---prettiness! :-)





Here is a Courthouse Steps quilt that is just gorgeous!!  Love the colors!


And last, but not least, probably my most favorite quilt block of all--- Sunbonnet Sue.... love all the little details on these blocks... just adorable!

  4. Beautiful work Gwen, love seeing the quilts. Thanks for joining my blog also. Quilting I have tried once, I did the top and my mother in law quilted it for me. She was a doll for doing that. Hugs and see you down the line. ox
