CA State Fair 2012 - Part 2, Quilts

Quilting is something that I haven't gotten into, not really. I think I've mentioned that I made blocks for a quilt top years ago, but they're somewhere in a box. I can't imagine quilting and acquiring all the fabric stash that would inevitably go with it. But I do enjoy looking at beautiful quilts and can appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making these works of art.

Here are a few of the quilts in this year's California State Fair Creative Arts Competition.
