And as an added bonus, some of the makers were also present so you can
match the quilt with the maker. Do you
think that quilts reflect the maker’s personality? I’m not sure because in that case I have a
bit of split personality: my art quilts use a muted palette, but the quilts I
make for fun tend to be very colourful.

I assume it is partly to protect the
makers’ copyright that the winner’s rosettes cover so much of the quilts, but
as a photographer/blogger/writer, it drives me nuts!

I’ve just been going through my
Paducah images to pull together an article for Popular Patchwork on the Show
and I’m having a hard time narrowing the choice down. My initial pick is 20, but as a reader I
prefer fewer but bigger images, so I can see more detail. What is your preference on a feature
summarising a quilt show?

Unfortunately all of the miniature
quilts were under glass to protect them, so there was no way to photograph them
without getting glare from the overhead lights.
This is a shame as they were truly outstanding – not just the
winners. Several of them used pieces
smaller than my little finger nail. I
admire the skill and dedication, but didn’t come away feeling it was something
I could try. I struggle to be accurate
with larger pieces and prefer free piecing, so I don’t think it is in my
nature.

Very interesting choices. Stunning workmanship.
My personal preference is to be able to see more of the entries rather than a few larger ones. If you are not able to do that, maybe a link to a website that shows more images. I do agree with you about the rosettes by the way, would prefer to see less of them and more of the quilt.
