Quilty inspiration courtesy of MQX!!

This will be a picture heavy post today.  I spent 5 days at MQX drooling over quilts which in most cases were as awesome on the backside as the front.  Last year I took a photograph with my good digital camera of EVERY quilt which hung at the show and then I took a closeup or 2 or 3.  It took FOREVER!!  Then I bought the memory card stick and it had all the same photographs on it and more.   I had too many classes and not enough time this year plus it was silly knowing I was going to buy the memory stick again anyway so I only snapped a few with my phone if they really moved me while I was gazing.  I discovered that I enjoyed the individual quilts more this way.

Anyway, on to the quilts........These are FRONTS..... I failed at the important job of documenting who these were all created by ( I promise to update it when I get the memory stick as all the information is on the stick)

The detail in the quilting on these pieces is just Awe inspiring........ You could stand there and look at them for hours!!  These are not your average quilts clearly, and they were all created to be entered into a show.  I am so glad these amazing people share their ART with all of us so we can become inspired!!
