Museum is hosting award
winning quilts from the
Every year the National Quilt Museum hosts a themed quilt contest and judges them. After the awards have been given, selected quilts tour the country for two years. The theme of the 2016 contest is New Quilts From An Old Favorite: Flying Geese. The finalists and the winners are on display and I am excited to see the variety of quilts that used the Flying Geese quilting pattern.
The Flying Geese Quilting Pattern uses triangles. It will be interesting to see how the quilters used this basic geometric form in their works. To build suspense, I'm going to show the finalists' quilts first.
