Gray Plus One

On Friday my small Friday quilt group, The Scrapbag Quilt Artists, hung their annual challenge show at the library in Newtown, CT. Although our group has gotten a lot smaller, we still managed to hang 15 quilts, with the inclusion of two alumnae members and some current members making two. If you ever thought that gray was boring, this show will certainly change your mind. If you live in the area I hope you will stop by and see it. It will be up until October 23.


Oh, yes, all the quilts are squared and true, it's my photography that makes some of them look otherwise. Please click on each picture for a larger view.

These are stunning! What a fabulous group of fabric artists! And gray makes every color look so much better! If it only worked with gray hair! :)

Thanks for posting these photos.

Norma,
The show looks wonderful. I got to see Anita's piece before it left Arizona. As usual, I was very impressed. I also love your "No Elephants Here"; not only because it conveys a desireable sentiment, but also because the blue just looks amazing with the grey.

Kindest regards,
Linda McCurry
