Last weekend was the Dallas Quilt Celebration, sponsored by the Quilt Guild of Dallas. There were more than 350 entries, as well as several exhibits. As a general impression, I would say the show was dominated by applique, album, and mariners compass quilts. Lots of amazing workmanship. I'll post some of my photos.
