Heritage Park Festival of Quilts....
First off...I forgot to show off my backing fabric! Dots!
Heritage Park Festival of Quilts is held in May every year in Calgary. Today we had glorious quilt viewing weather!
Quilts hanging from the railings, from the fence lines...
Quilts everywhere...
All over the place..
Look!! We found mine!!! And all the other Avignon Picnic offspring!
I will never take a serious shot in front of one of my quilts - I will always have fun with it! My boys were up for it too!
This is what the Avignon Picnic grouping was all about....

Our quilts were on display in the centre grassy area under the tents...
If only I could read this woman's thoughts on my heavy quilting....I'm pretty sure she would say something like 'those modern quilts have so much dense quilting!' LOL
Here are photos of all the offspring produced by Avignon Picnic quilt pattern. I did not take photos up close of the quilting, I was a little unsure if I was allowed to do that!

Isn't it amazing how different colour placements, background changes - make the quilt so different! I have a few favourites here. I am so proud of how the group did!
