My mom and I went to the Houston Quilt Festival yesterday. We had so much fun! There were so many wonderful, beautiful, inspiring quilts. This one was my favorite. It won a blue ribbon. You can't really see in this picture, but not only are the animals beautifully detailed, the thing each animal says in the song "Old McDonald Had a Farm" are quilted into each animal's background square. The quilt is called "Ms. McDonald had a farm."
This was another really beautiful quilt - one I can actually see myself being able to make at some point. The pattern is called Tennessee Waltz. It's made with snowball blocks alternating with Fifty-Four Forty or Fight blocks. All of the seams are curved, but the way the blocks combine, they look curved! I especially love the color scheme on this quilt. I've looked up other Tennessee Waltz quilts online, and a lot of people use a different arrangement of the background that I don't think looks as nice. I like how the yellow pops against the black and white prints (and the yellow center squares are each a fussy-cut sunflower with a lady bug sitting on it).
