I love to look at the use of colour, the quilting and the expert techniques the makers employ. I think it gives me an idea as to the personality of the maker. Then again when I look at some of the quilts in detail, some

Carnival by Beth Nufer of Brookings Oregon USA with Clem Buzic.

This quilt won a second place in the pieced large section. How did she piece that? and the shading is amazing.
