Presenting a gallery of a few of my favorite quilts from IQA Long Beach 2009. To me quilts are art, even traditional quilts, so here’s a bit of fun for you:

At most quilt shows, the quilts are hung on draped black fabric. What might those same quilts look like in an art gallery or museum setting? Take a look and find out! (Gallery/Museum backdrops by Photofunia)

    Thank you for the posting of "Edges" and for including the titles of the pieces, and especially the names of the artists. More press for our special exhibit at Festival in Long Beach.
