<\/a>Yes, this is made from a Piece O’Cake pattern. I don’t care, I love the pattern and the rendition this quiltmaker created is wonderful.<\/p>\n Here is a detail of the border, which I also love, because it reminds me of Mary Engelbreit designs. Don’t you just love the dot flowers? Great use of fabrics as well.<\/p>\n I like this one, because it is different. I could do without the brown, but I love the blocks. The person who made this made an effort and made a quilt that is different.<\/p>\n I am a sucker for Pineapples and this is an excellent use of the Pineapple pattern. It looks like some of the silks that I have.<\/p>\n This was part of the Beverly Dunivent special exhibit. I bought this pattern (reprinted by her) a few years ago after seeing it (and her) on Simply Quilts. I love this quilt. I don’t know if I will ever make it, but I love it. (look at this quilt with your head tilted to the left)<\/p>\n EBHQ<\/u><\/p>\n One thing I like about the EBHQ show is the way the members use clean lines and simple shapes in their piecing patterns wih interesting fabrics to make engaging quilts. It was very hard to choose the ‘best.’<\/p>\n I love basket quilts. I am pretty sure this quilt is by Mary Mashuta<\/a> and she is a genius with stripes. the quilt does have that sweet look she uses so often. I guess it is the soft\/pastelly colors.<\/p>\n I think of Christmas applies when I see this. I like the scarlet used with the lime\/icky green. I also like the fact that the quiltmaker added some oranges and pinks into the quilt to add interest. I would like to see how this color scheme worked with different patterns.<\/p>\n PIQF An old Piece O’ cake pattern that I love. The signs on the houses and buildings were done in Spanish.<\/p>\n I am not one much for garments, but this piece is wonderfully funny. I am really glad it won a prize. So often, judges have no sense of humor.<\/p>\n San Mateo County Fair<\/u><\/p>\n The San Mateo County Fair’s quilts seem to be populated in large part by the Peninsula Quilters Guild<\/a>. The piecing, in large part, is wonderful and there are a lot of quilts that display excellent piecing skills as well as a good use of color.<\/p>\n I went to the following quilt shows this year: APNQ, Seattle, August 2006 EBHQ, Oakland, March 2006 PIQF, Santa Clara, October 2006 San Mateo County Fair, San Mateo, August 2006 Not enough, obviously, but they provided plenty of fabulous inspiration. People are still really pushing their machines to the limit. St. JCN suggested that I … Continue reading “The Best Quilts of 2006 According to Me”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[369],"tags":[330,339],"class_list":["post-158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-369","tag-other-artists","tag-roundup"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63997,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158\/revisions\/63997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/a>Best use of puffy paint I have EVER seen. The fabrics are fantastic and used well also (look at this quilt with your head tilted to the left)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>This reminds me of IT3: Spiky Stars.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>The blocks are very sharp. I also like the use of color. It reminds me of Colorblocks 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a>Fun and cheerful. May be a Freddy Moran<\/a> or it may just be by someone who took her class or read her book. This is a fun link as well to Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran<\/a> quilts.<\/p>\n<\/a>Whimisical and I like the shapes of the various flowers. Great use of color and fabric.<\/p>\n<\/a>Excellent repetition.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIcky colors, but fantastic quilting. See the detail below.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>I like the individual blocks more than the overall quilt, but I do like the color scheme, because it is restful.<\/p>\n<\/a>The blocks just suck me right in.<\/p>\n<\/a>The triangles come across as really interesting shapes here. Reminds me of earthquakes as well.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/u>
\nEach basket had a different flower in it. I believe that this one was done completely by hand. The attention to detail was wonderful.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Fantastic water effect.<\/p>\n<\/a>Wonderful colors and details.<\/p>\n<\/a>I love Mariner’s compasses.<\/p>\n<\/a>I also saw this at the San Mateo County Fair. I love the use of black and white.<\/p>\n<\/a>Wonderful star pattern.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>I like the way the stars overlap and contain little surprises in the center. I would love to see this done in brights and black.<\/p>\n<\/a>Ronda K. Beyer, It Ain’t Easy Being Green: Love the colors; the quilting was fantastic. It won one of the prizes.<\/p>\n<\/a>I love the wheel patterns. Again, kind of muddy colors, however.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThis is probably my favorite quilt of the year. The pattern is simple, yet complex. It really is a good use of dotted prints. The variety of fabrics and the way it is not easy to tell how the pattern was put together makes for a quilt. I couldn’t stop looking at.<\/p>\n<\/a>Detail of the above.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAgain, nice repetition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
