Another Winning Quilt Made by a Friend

I am continuing to share photos and idea, each day this month, from Fiber Arts Fiesta which was held in Albuquerque May 23-25.

This is Suns and Moons, made by another talented friend/Long Armer, Lynne Horpedahl.

It placed third in the category Large Innovative Pieced and/or Appliquéd quilt.  I love the colors and the fabulous quilting.


Another of Lynne's quilts in the show also won a third place ribbon, in the Medium Art quilt category for How Does My Garden Grow?

Here's a closer look at the embellishment and quilting. 

Buttons seem to be growing in popularity as an embellishment ... I wonder if its a regional thing or a national trend?

Have you noticed more buttons on quilts?

Have you added more buttons to your quilts?
