Melissa's quilt, Silk Road Sampler, took Best of Show at Road to California 2016.

The quilt is based on a photograph and measures 60" x 67."

Melissa writes:
Where east meets west in Istanbul, there is a Spice Bazaar that has been there since 1597. There, surrounded by exotic smells and tastes, the vibrant colors of the silk road come alive. One vendor had so many ornate pillows of various colors and designs, it was like viewing an appliqué sampler.

I got to see this quilt at Road 2 CA Quilt Show.
IT is truly a beautiful quilt. You feel like you could pick up a pillow or quilt and hold it, workmanship is great.

This quilt is the stuff of dreams. Can we see a picture in some contest so we can see the relative size, etc?
