I was at the American Quilter’s Society show in Des Moines, IA recently. As I made my way through the quilt displays I noticed so many very intricately pieced quilts. These intricate quilts must have taken months or maybe even years to complete.
Of course I took lots of pictures to share with you. Check out these awesome quilts! (You may see my finger in some of the photos, just to give you an idea of the scale of the pieces. I did not touch any quilts!) This is only a sampling of the fantastic quilts I saw.

[…] Last week I shared a bunch of photos of intricate quilts seen at the AQS Quiltweek in Des Moines, IA. If you missed it, you can see it here. As an educator, the question I get the most is: How do you decide how to quilt something? Checking out the fabulous quilting on these intricate quilts got me to thinking about some intricate quilts that I have done in the past. Quilting intricate quilts, just like any other quilt top, has to be decided on a case by case basis. There is no hard-and-fast rule on how to choose designs for quilting. However, there are some considerations I think about when making choices. […]
Amazing applique and piecing decisions as well as how to quilt. A lot of thought and talent went into these beauties!
