Finally!

There will be a new block tomorrow. Possibly one that will showcase my newfound needle turn applique skills - well a chance to practice anyway.

But first, great news! There was "a quilt" at the show in Houston and it was amazing.
Machine pieced and quilted.
I so wanted to take a photo of each block so we can get some quilting ideas but people were waiting to see the quilt.

I always take photos of a quilt's description, etc. because I want to give credit to the quilter but I forgot this time. If you know who made this quilt, PLEASE let me know so I can add the information.

Edited to add: Thanks to Susan in Texas I now know who made this lovely quilt. It is called "A Tribute to Jane" and was made by Patricia Mayer (piecing) and Karen Watts (quilting).
Houston Jane
This quilter chose not to piece the triangles but she is a genius! She quilted the triangle designs into the border.
Don't you just love the binding?

She also chose not to do setting squares. If I'm correct, Jane's quilt did not have setting squares or even sashing.

The quilting is absolutely amazing!

    I think it might have been a guild project somewhere in Texas; it was in the Texas exhibit area if I remember correctly.

    This quilt is called "A Tribute to Jane" and was made by Patricia Mayer and Karen Watts. (You should probably attach this information to each photo of the quilt that you have in Flickr, and mention it in any blogpost about the quilt. The literature from the Houston Festival is very clear that attribution is required for all posted photos. It's a pain, but I've been doing it for the slideshows on my blog.)

    "A Tribute to Jane" was part of the non-judged portion of the festival, and was included in the "Texas Guilds' Award-Winning Traditional Quilts" display.

    Hope this helps,
    Susan
