-----------------------------

This is an amazing quilt. The Quilt Guards were very nervous as visitor after visitor got their nose within 2" of the quilt. Olga Gonzalez-Angulo from Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain must have infinite patience. TQS viewers may remember this name. Olga is a partner with Rosa Rojas in the Apliquick Company.

I just saw this quilt in Daytona Beach. I was blown away! I thought the dots were fabric, really blown away to find out they were appliqué! Such talent!

Many thanks to all! The truth has been very poor work, I have put each circle in place with tweezers. The quilting is also very difficult to see a small fraction of the quilt, you do not know which area you are quilting, and you have to go back to see in which area you are! It's a complicated job !!!! again thanks quilters

wonder if Rosa made all of these small dots with her appliquick method. I think its stunning

I love how this was put together with obvious sections....How do you finish a quilt?...start with one section and do another. The sections add to the interest and beauty of this amazing quilt.

Only 2nd place?

The vision and work of this quilt is simply amazing! Pointillism with quilting!

Bravo, Ms. Gonzalez-Angulo !! In my way of judging, this is a first place winner!

The skill level is awe inspiring.

As a 'do it now' person, I wouldn't have the patience. But it looks doable with different sized holes on a hole-puncher using appliqued wool felt. At least that's how I would do it, if I were nuts. :-x
