Here are a few more photos from the IQA show in Houston recently. The theme of this group is bright colors. There’s a lot of energy here!

Fiesta by Norma Schlager, Danbury, Connecticut.

And a detail of Fiesta, quilted swirls galore:

After the Rain by Sandra Gregg, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The composition of this quilt really appeals to me. Definitely some shibori going on, too.

Tropical Radiance by Rachel Wetzler, St. Charles, Illinois.

And a detail of Tropical Radiance:

It’s called My Stash at 50 (aka Log Cabin with an Attitude) by Karen Eckmeier, Kent, Connecticut. My question is fifty what? Fifty different fabrics? Fifty years old? Stash weighs 50 pounds? Stash consumes 50 yards of space? Or possibly, all of the above?

Detail shots:

And this is All Good Things by Leslie Hall of Longboat Key, Florida:

The subtlety in the light areas of this piece is amazing. Here’s a detail:

That’s it for today. More to come!
