I asked Julie how she looks at the quilts. For me I usually look for quilts 1) I would like to have in my home, 2) I wish I had the ability to do, but know I do not, 3) I know I would NEVER do myself, 4) that have lots of embroidery...Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-7472013740633922922014-11-14T20:38:59.762+09:002014-11-14T20:38:59.762+09:00I wish I had taken a better close up picture of th...I wish I had taken a better close up picture of the lotus quilt.

In Sweden you hardly see any hand quilted quilts, and most have a contemporary style. In Australia there are a lot of landscape quilts showing off the beautiful country of Australia. In Japan many quilts are immaculate American copies (e.g Baltimore Album quilts) or unique Japanese ones.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-13366853900214538902014-11-13T08:25:08.095+09:002014-11-13T08:25:08.095+09:00Aren't Japanese quilters amazing.

I've never seen anyone use such fabric in such a way; those long threads on the back of the thistle made them look 'furry'.
