Washington State Quilters 2014 Raffle Quilt Block

In a previous post, I shared about making quilt blocks to contribute to the Washington State Quilters-Spokane Chapter raffle quilt fundraiser (that’s a mouthful!).

Hubby and I attended the quilt show last weekend and I finally had the opportunity to see the raffle quilt all completed and on display.

There were enough blocks turned in to make two raffle quilts and some pillows!

This is my block:

Lots of crystals were added to the quilt but, unfortunately, the glitz doesn’t show up in the photo:

Oh yes, I bought my raffle ticket! 

And here is the other raffle quilt:

I wish you could see the quilting of the second quilt; it really is wonderful.  Whoever the winners are; they are fortunate indeed!

The Inland Northwest Machine Quilters (INMQ) had a wholecloth machine quilting challenge.  Many of those quilts were entered into the quilt show.

This is Jean Shute’s wholecloth design.  Isn’t it fabulous?!

I know a lot of you are very interested in machine quilting, so enjoy and be inspired!
