TQS Zoom Quilt - The Big Parade - Rita Verroca

Here's The Big Parade by Rita Verroca, a Baltimore Album quilt from the Houston International Quilt Festival's Baltimore Album Review II: Baltimore's Daughters - Friends Stitch Past to Future (partial sponsorship provided by C&T Publishing) Exhibit that will knock your socks off. Centered around the "Big Parade" carriage, Rita says she, "blended traditional blocks like the Democrat Rose, Whig Rose, Russian Sunflower, and the Mariner's compass with Baltimore Album blocks to create my own Baltimore Album quilt."

Appreciate the time, talent and dedication it takes to make one of these beautiful quilts. Baltimore Album quilts are one of my favorites. Love the center motif.

Ilove the use of the red through out the quilt to keep the flow and tie the blocks together. This is definitely a one of a kind quilt. Great job!

This is beautiful! I do hand-piecing too, thus to do a quilt like this is amazing. How many thimbles did you go through and have your fingers crumbles recovered? Juß teasing. I love this piece.
