So… the competition quilts at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Fest’25 were a lot of fun to see, and below you will find “My Favorite Seven”! Here they are, in NO particular order of preference except for the LAST entry, (which is very special and reminds me of my “free-spirited” granddaughter)!

“Share Your Radiance” (closeup at right)
