Kumiko Frydl with Mission Impeccable
Every so often, as I walked through the rows of outstanding quilts at this year's International Quilt Festival in Houston, I had the feeling that a certain quilt was calling out to me for closer inspection. Such was the case with Mission Impeccable by Kumiko Frydl (shown above).
This astounding miniature (16 3/4" x 16 3/4"!) quilt required 10 - 12 hours of work a day over a four-month period, but it was not the first time Kumiko created this design. In fact, this diminutive beauty is the third quilt in a series, each one tinier than the last. No doubt, Kumiko is a quilter who loves to challenge herself!

Sometimes it happens and a wonderful quilt was unintentionally left out of our original Baltimore Album Review II: Baltimore's Daughters -- Friends Stitch Past to Future slideshow. Thank you to Marie-Ann Coadic who sent us two lovely photos of her Baltimore Beauty quilt. She spent more than 2000 hours to complete this amazing quilt.
