What catches your eye when you walk through a quilt show?
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but it is still fun to walk through a quilt show with your friends, talking about each and every detail of the quilts. You can dream about how much fun it would be to make one of your own in your favorite pattern.
Even though you might not agree on which quilt is the "best of show", you will still be dazzled and inspired by the talent and creativity of the quilt makers.
