Arm chair quilt show Part 1

This weekend, the Etobicoke Quilters' Guild held their quilt show and I was there this morning before the crowds got to be too much. Here's a few of the quilts that I saw so sit back and enjoy. As you might have guessed from the title of this post, I will break the quilts up so we all don't get overwhelmed.
This didn't show up as bright as I had hoped. It was in the hall with lots of natural light and I don't think the flash was on. It is a fairly simple pattern but the colours are really nice - especially the blue strips in between.

A simple quilt using batiks.

I didn't take a close look at this so I don't know if it is hand or machine quilted but it is pretty.

You don't often see these colours together and I found this quilt refreshing.

This quilt just popped.

What a great black and white quilt.

Another black and white quilt - called "Wherever." This was made by a mom for her son's 23rd birthday. She hopes that it will always be with him "wherever" he goes. He is in training to be an RCMP officer and they get stationed in some far off spots sometimes.

This was an exercise in taking a photo and translating it using diamond shapes (at least I think that's what I read.) The title is "Lazy days on the Magnetawan River."
Maple Leaf Forever. This was hung in the hall opposite the first one I showed and it really is much more vibrant than the photo shows. Maybe I should have use a flash.
****If you are a no reply commenter, I cannot assist you in obtaining this pattern because I don't know your email address.

    The quilts are stunning -- thank you for sharing your photographs. Hard to pick a favourite from those, but I think I'm leaning towards the blue and red drunkard's path variation.
