In Part 1 we shared with you what it takes to organize and hang the Colorado Quilt Council Capitol Quilt Show in Denver, CO.  Now comes the fun part.  We get to share a snipped of the 470 quilts with you.

Every odd calendar year, hundreds of quilters from around the state of Colorado anxiously await the day when they can see their own quilts hanging in the State Capitol Building in Denver. 

Before the show is even open to the public, however, numerous volunteers spend many long and sometimes stressful hours working to ensure that the quilt installation goes without a hitch. Join us as we share a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to organize and hang the biennial Capitol Quilt Show, organized by the Colorado Quilting Council.

This year marks the 23rd show of quilts at the Denver State Capitol Building, making the Capitol Quilt Show one of the longest continually running quilt shows in the United States.
