Medallion quilts are a way of repeating forms in a more circular vs. linear way (see Repetition for some quilts this year that I liked with blocks).

Last year’s medallion quilts at PIQF were more cosmically oriented. This year while less cosmic, once again extraordinary details.

Pacific International Quilt Festival 2014 – Architecture

Posted on October 21, 2014 by piecedgoods

Gloria Loughman – Old Bank Building

House quilts have always been a favorite of mine. For me, the building of a quilt block relates to the construction of edifices. There were a lot of great architecture at this year’s quilt festival. For Part 1 and Part 2, click on the links. And yet more to come!
