In no particular order....
Night Quilting with Hertzsprung & Russell by: Karen G. Fisher, Arizona
In general, I am not a big fan of embellishments... To me for the most part they seem "Ongepatcheket" (Yiddish for overdecorated/overdone) but this quilt used those star shaped buttons perfectly! (The link explains the relevance & the quilt name.)
Up, Up, & Away By: David Taylor, ColoradoPerspective, Perspective, Perspective!
The Time of Amber By: Junko Sawada, Japan
I apparently like "pictoral" quilts... I really like this Japanese version for the unusual fabric choices.
My Sweet Town By: Mayume Ueda, Japan
What is a Koban? (Any one care to hazard a guess as to why I like this taupe quilt?)
A Bright Summer Day By: Ulla Addresson, ItalyI usually go for pictorals that are blatantly unabashedly quilts... I like to see old-fashioned green calicos used as leaves, etc. but this one impressed me anyway... What can I say?
Summer Succulants By: Suzanne M. Hyland, UtahLove the purple orange color combination for this quilt of a plant! I also like the square on a square/small version on top of the large version technique.
Luminous Diamonds By: Cathy Tomm, CanadaIts black & white & bright - if I had place myself squarely in 1 box, that would be my box... I recognize so many of these prints from my own stash... This quilt appears to be "doable."
A journal quilt by L. Hayes, IllinoisAgain, I like the way there are squares over the mainpiece... I like the use of photo transfers, I like the striated look of the earth... (I love that with journal & miniature quilts I can get the whole thing with out a terrible angle or people in the way. :o))
A Journal quilt By: E. Schamber, VirginiaThe reflection/water is AWESOME!
A journal quilt by: R. Robertson, MarylandI love the different techniques - especially the eye for "I" & the "S."
Packrat Palace by: Ruth Powers, Kansas
Another quilt where the embellishments are appropriate. Also this is a pictoral is made in a manner that says it is a quilt - not a photograph or painting.
Grand Poppy By: Lenore Crawford, MichiganI love this background!
Prairie Dawn By: Ann Brauer, Mass.
I love the fabric choices that she made!
Kosher Chicken Deanna Apfel, CaliforniaThis one was in the Art Whimsical category & boy did it ever make me grin!
Wild Cat by: Sandy Curran, Virginia "The Calico Cat" has to include a photo of a cat quilt...

Love the cat quilt the best! It was fun seeing the quilts through your eyes. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not of fan of a lot of embellishment either. Or for that matter photo transfer. I feel that a lot of it is done without consideration of the design of the piece. That's my penny's worth.
Thanks so much for sharing these! My favorite are Prairie Dawn, QUILTS, and Luminous Diamonds.
Wow!! Awesome eye candy. I didn't get to see ALL the journal quilts, there were too many and not enough time. It's always interesting to see what someone else deems photo-worthy. Thanks for sharing.
I thought of you with several cat related quilts I saw in Houston.
What fun! How I'd like to see some of those quilts up close!
By the way, a Koban is a neighborhood police station in Japan. Just one or two policemen who make rounds on bicycles. Sort of handy if you've lost your way, found somebody's wallet, need to report an absent neighbor's broken pipe or something.
Thanks for sharing these Amy! I like the packrat the best. I like embellishment, cause I like things shiny and packratlike.
How DID she do that water? Wow.
Great quilts! LOVE the kosher chicken!
Thank you for posting Houston info and quilts, Amy; just love seeing the quilts, especially Kosher Chicken (how on earth did this idea come to mind?). And the cat quilt is just amazing.
Thanks for sharing these..I feel like I've been there!
Love the choices of quilts you chose to share. Those Japanese quilts are amazing and the other pictorals? Great!
