I uploaded more quilt show pictures. This one has got to be one of my favorite quilts of all time. I seem to remember the images from an earlier publication of the book?

The quilt itself looks like it includes velvets and satins and possibly beads and bits of embellishement. When the quilt is viewed directly you realize the texture is the result of very skillful use of mottled and maybe hand-dyed fabrics, impossibly detailed applique and lots of intricate embroidery. I really think the piece is created entirely of cotton fabrics and floss.
