Drumroll, please! :)
Even though I didn't finish my quilt in time to enter (but am already planning what I want to do for next year!), here's my personal favorites from the best exhibit of all times: quilting!
 |
| Geometric designs are becoming more and more popular, especially as more men enter the quilting field. I love them! |
 |
| This quilt captures three of my favorites: country living, landscape, and a silhouette. Notice the tobacco leaf in the corners, and the detailing of the tilled soil. Someone spent a LOT of time on this. Very deserving of its yellow ribbon (not sure what place that makes it). |
 |
| Stars aren't my favorite pattern, but I absolutely adore the colors here! The checkerboard/striped border adds to the playfulness, and reminds me of the Eric Carle line of fabrics. (He's the Hungry Caterpillar author and illustrator, for those not familiar with the name.) |
 |
| A very elegant black and white pattern. I recently had a request for a black and white quilt, so this especially caught my attention. |
 |
| HARRY POTTER! and DETAILS!!! two of my many favorite things! |
 |
| Almost all the books had titles machine embroidered on the spine. I can't even begin to fathom the amount of time spent piecing, appliqueing, and planning on this quilt! This quilter earned their Blue Ribbon! |
 |
| A star pattern I actually like - the diamonds and squares seem to set enhance the design, and I love the colors. |
 |
| Again, a landscape quilt, and one that clearly earned its ribbon! |
 |
| Duotone quilts aren't all that common, but they always make a splash. This one clearly deserved its place among the Best of Show! |
 |
| Another black and white in a pattern I think is marvelous! | | |

Lord willing, next year, the 2012 NC State Fair will be hanging one of my quilts! :)

i absolutely love the black and white ones. I also love the red one....it would look perfect in my room!!
Love all the quilts. Can't wait to see yours next year:) And I'm trying to decide what to enter....photo or knitted craft?
Why not both?
I love that Harry Potter one, so much amazing detail. I also really like the duotone one. They are beautiful. Makes me want to head to the Tulsa fair next year just to see the quilt exhibit.
