Today I'm going to start out with the examples of free-piecing that I found at the show. I was so excited to see these!
This is a partial picture of a quilt that had free-pieced log cabins and free-pieced flying geese in the borders.
The title of this quilt is "Ladder Day Saints" and was made by Barbara Houshmand. I loved the ladders and I loved the pun-ny title!
A closeup of her letters. (Sorry for the poor quality of the photo.)
Now, the rest of the photos for today:
I'm crazy about leaves. Look at the skeleton leaf in the lower left-hand corner of the quilt on the right. Wow!

And, the closeup reveals this was all done with half-square triangles - one in black/white and the other in a color! I can't imagine doing this one without a design wall. What a great project for Bonnie's leaders and enders!
