Int. Quilt Festival’25: my Favorite Quilts
So... the competition among the quilt entries at the International Quilt Festival really doesn't get any tougher! To even have a quilt accepted to be shown at this prestigious show is quite a feat!
But having said that, my strolling among the quilts was severely hampered this show by the fact that I did a number on my back when I got to Houston. I'm not for sure how I did it, (it probably had something to do with all that heavy lifting of our crates at setup), but it was mighty painful! Nevertheless. the quilts were awesome! They were a lot of fun to see, and it was a hard choice, but below you will find "My Favorite Six! (Please keep in mind that I have no experinece in judging quilts, but I lack in judging experience, I make up for in spectator experience)
So here they are, in NO particular order of preference, except for the LAST one, which is definitely one of my favorites of all time!
