More Quilts From Grand Rapids

Here are the rest of the quilt pictures from the 2024 AQS show in Grand Rapids.

Starting off is this beauty made by a friend, Joan Brink. She worked on this quilt for many many years, isn't the applique just beautiful!






A close up of these tiny strips. They were only 1/4" wide! Obviously these blocks were foundation paper pieced.

Several guilds had challenges and displayed the quilts from their group. These quilt was designed and quilted by another friend, Kathy Downey


The only thing I purchased at the show (besides my lunch) was this silver thimble. Sorry the picture is slightly blurry.

    Oh my goodness, Joan's appliqued quilt is a masterpiece. Subtle Reflections is beautiful also. That thimble is so pretty. I wish I could find any thimble that I find comfortable to use.
