When I attended Fiber Fiesta two years ago, I hardly knew any New Mexico quilters and I had not yet found and joined the Northern New Mexico Quilt Guild. This year, there were lots of familiar names from the New Mexico quilting community–some of whom I have come to know.
This quilt is Picnic, by Julee Coffman. I met Julie last year, through the guild, and saw this quilt at our guild show last fall, just as I was finishing my Mad Mad, Mod Mod Sampler Quilt, which I think shares a similar look and feel.
This quilt is also a good illustration of a thought that ran through my head quite a bit while walking through the show: among quite a few great modern quilts in the show, very few earned ribbons in their category.
Lynne Horpedahl quilted this quilt. While talking with Lynne about how I wanted my Mod-mod sampler quilted last year, I used it as an example of the density and style I thought would work for my quilt, too.As always, quilt shows are a great source for quilting ideas.

It does look very similar! I like yours better because it appears more together and has continuity. this one seems so....well, random.
I love this series you are doing Sophie!!
Great to see all the beautiful quilts :)
Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see what the rest of the month brings :)
At least the quilts are in the show. The ribbons will come in time, I imagine. What I saw at our local show was that traditional and modern are sharing about 50-50, both in space and in ribbons.
Love your series, especially with your comments. Another chance for me to learn! Thanks!
