Quilt Guild Challenge

Here are some quilts from the Little Balkans Quilt Guild challenge.  The challenge was to use something vintage in a quilted project.  The challenge was judged by Anna Mae Brown of Girard.  I did not get everyone's name for these projects and I'm sorry for that.  The First place went to Sherry Jagels who made a quilt from her vintage textiles collection.  She made baskets which she decorated with vintage textiles and crazy quilt blocks to make this quilt.  Second place went to Debbie Potter who made a pillow  with vintage textiles from family and friends.  Third place was a quilt made from vintage textiles but it has a modern feel to it also because the vintage textile was cut up and then sewed in a modern setting.  She also used the textile on the back.  It was really interesting that the projects were all different as different people  put their own spin on their project.  The star flower quilt with the grey background was made by Pegg Smith . It also  has a modern feel to it even though vintage textiles were used to make it.  Martha Tompkins made hers with material from her mother's wedding dress.  All of them were terrific and it everyone did a fantastic job on them.. If you want to see them in person-Come to to the Little Balkans Quilt Show this weekend at Memorial Hall in Pittsburg!  I think some on them have been entered in the quilt show!
