I know this was truly a challenge for some because of the large pattern vs small quilt conundrum but our submissions are creative and beautiful. We've got them hanging in the Resort until the show so that everyone can enjoy them.<br />
Valori Wells will be coming by this month to pick her favorite and then we'll announce the winners. Because we only had 4 brave souls submit quilts they will all get a prize of some sort. Thank you. ladies for your stunning work!<br />
Below are my (not so great) iphone photos of the quilts. You'll have to come to the show or the Resort to see them in all their true glory!<br />
