The International Quilt Festival in Long Beach had a stunning exhibition of antique quilts. Sadly they were once again created by the "unknown quiltmaker." It is heartbreaking to think no one can accept credit for these astonishing hand made masterpieces. Particularly wonderful is a silk, courthouse steps that absolutely shimmers. As you'll see, it was treated more as a crazy quilt and was not quilted, but only backed. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
