I told you there was a lot to see at QuiltCon!

Barbara Strick's Bullseye won the Best of Show award, and I still have three posts coming later on.

Piecing curves isn't particularly easy, and this seems flawless.  I would like to do something similar . . . in theory, at least.

Another great use of a cheery color scheme:

The artist could have applied these little strips to the tops of her piecing, but she didn't!

Here are three that used the same set of fabrics:

This artist provides you with an idea if you want to view her quilt a little literally:

I like to utilize pre-used fabrics sometimes.  I love what this artist did with a wide variety of fabrics and a random block.

(No, I don't see blue, either.  I compared the color on the Best of Show against a professional photograph online, and it looks accurate, so I'm not sure what the explanation is.)

Thank you!!

My favorites are Magmatic, Shimmer Quilt, and Seaglass Reflections.

I don't usually read the explanations because I just want to love it for what I see.

I want to see more!

Hi Marian! You know I'll never fail you . . . always more quilts to come. (So many more!)

I hadn't picked a favorite, but "Blue Reimagined" is the one that appeals to me most, on a very visceral level. Picking between some of the others is difficult for me.

Thank you for sharing such delightful detail, Cheri!
My favorite is River Gone Green, for the color storytelling, and extra work!
Next is Into the Light, for color, design, and teamwork!
It's so good of you to bring these moments of reflection, Cheri!

I enjoyed Seaglass Reflections the most. I loved the transition from dark to light in the blues. The yellow could be the sun changing the colors.
