My Favorite Quilts from Festival (Friday Foto Fun #58)

If you missed my Fall Quilt Market recap, I said I was going to share some of my favorite quilts that I saw at the exhibit!  You can check out the list of winners here.  Remember I took these photos during Quilt Market, so it was before the winners were announced.

I actually took photos of the Best in Show and the Founders Award quilts without knowing it! They are STUNNING in person.  Can you tell what style of quilts I'm attracted to?  

I find it interesting that most of the quilts have curves and are SUPER complicated!  Both things I'm personally not a fan of sewing myself, but I sure can appreciate the beauty of these quilts!

The Best in Show and winner of the $12,500 prize was Eternal Beauty by Sherry Reynolds, and the Founders Award quilt and winner of $7500 was Over the Waves by Setsuko Matsushima!

I'm on vacation this next week for Thanksgiving and I'll be working on several quilts for Island Batik's Spring and Summer catalog for next year! My Barn Quilt BOM quilt will tentatively be a 6-month block of the month quilt that will kick off next August!  Also if you are interested in applying to be an Island Batik Ambassador, applications for 2019 are currently open!  Check out the application here.
