Appliqué at the National Quilt Museum: Part 1

As I (Teri) have previously posted, I had the honor and privilege of visiting the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky, earlier this month. It has always been on my bucket list, and hopefully, it will not be a one-time visit. I was enthralled by the exquisite examples of needlework on display. All the quilts were stunning, but not surprisingly, I was especially drawn to the appliquéd quilts. This week and next, I will share a small tour of the current exhibit; we hope you will be as inspired as we are. So many new ideas are buzzing in my head now.

Enjoy!

The ruching in this quilt is amazing.

The sweetness of the quilt touched my mother-heart.

Color is everything—changing the colors and value gives a whole different look to the block.

If you ever have the chance to visit the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, it will be well worth your while. Their collection is an amazing representation of the artwork in this field. Stop back next week for a couple other displays on exhibit during my visit. Prepare to be wowed!
