Hoffman Challenge Quilt Show

The following selection are from the Hoffman Challenge exhibit at the local quilt show. These quilts are created from the Peacock Collection by Hoffman. This is just a sampling. You can find more here at the Hoffman Challenge Website 

 

Just so pretty! The picture is terrible in comparison to this colorful beauty. 

There was some sparkly embellishments as well.

Peacock tails make wonderful blocks!

Loved these swans!

another eye popping beauty!

How pretty is this. 

I like the way the border fabric is just on two sides

 with the peacock focal fabric on the lower left. 

This exotic beauty is my fav!

It is absolutely humbling to see a quilt like this. 

Amazing. 

I cannot imagine sewing all these little rectangles together (not to mention cutting).

LOVE this take on Flying Geese!

Beautiful colors in these batik boxes!

So cute, the border is a wonderful birch tree print fabric.

Another incredible art quilt. My picture is terrible. 

The quilt gives you a sense of looking through doorways at an art exhibit.

 Notice how the viewers are quilted on.

I'm always looking for interesting ways to quilt my quilt tops. 

I loved the large circles & triangles that were quilted on this quilt.

Quilt Show!

A local guild puts on a wonderful quilt show every two years. The venue is a sports dome, this place is perfect for a quilt show. The lighting is wonderful and it is spacious enough to really enjoy these beautiful quilts. 

Today I fed the kids a hearty breakfast and off we went. Little guy soon feel asleep in the stroller and my daughter was really good about not touching & sticking close by. 

I'll be sharing some of these beauties over a few posts, enjoy!

This one is for Julia ~ way up in the north country!

Love the combination of Batiks and prints

Love this art piece, so original! and versatile as the "blocks" can be moved around!

This one is for my friend Jen. 

Jen I'd love to make this for you ~ only I'd do the hair in brown and add your face!

Love the detail in this quilt!
