As I mentioned earlier in the week, the BAMQG meeting was on Saturday. I can’t tell you how happy I was to attend the meeting. It was a surprise, because I thought the meeting was on the 8th. Angela told me that it was on the 14th and when I checked, I realized I could attend! I declined the invitations of several Christmas parties this year, because, as a friend aptly described, mustering merriment just wasn’t in me. I didn’t feel like I had to muster merriment to attend the quilt party. There were quilts! What more did a person need?<\/p>\n

One of the show and tells was Cheryl’s quilt (above). She won the blocks and added the aqua\/greeny-blue. I love the way this quilt looks. It isn’t stark like all-black and white quilts can be. The gold isn’t depressing. There is a lot of movement, which made my eyes move around the quilt and every time I looked at it, I saw something interesting. This is a fabulous quilt and one that makes me think, again, about the ratio of black to white in a black and white print.<\/p>\n

See the full quilt<\/a> on Flickr in the BAMQG pool.<\/p>\n

\"Round<\/a>
Round Robin Quilts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the small groups that the president created this year were meeting with their round robin quilts.<\/p>\n

This is a great shot – I wasn’t being diligent about taking photos.<\/p>\n

Trust me when I say that their round robins LOOK fabulous. The one that really caught my attention has the pinky-red and green. the contrast of the two colors is wonderful.<\/p>\n

This group has done a great job. Their centers started out interesting and a strong start clearly set them all off to do their best work.<\/p>\n

Cheryl also finished a quilt for her nephew<\/a> who will receive it as a Christmas gift. I took a close-up, because I missed my chance to take a full photo. Fortunately, there is a full photo on Flickr (say that 3 times really fast!).<\/p>\n

She did a great job using mostly the same darks, but interspersing a few others in to add interest. I also liked the background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
