Quilt Show Continued

There was one monochromatic quilt that made us do a doubletake:


If you google "one block wonder quilts" you'll find other photos of this design and even the books that made these quilts popular.  Basically, the border is the pictorial fabric that is cut to make the hexagons that are in the center of the quilt.


Isn't the closeup view amazing?  I've seen these quilts using very colorful fabrics at other shows, but I thought this black-and-white fabric had a wonderfully graphic effect.


The quilter told us that she made this for her young son.  His favorite part?  The "Three Stooges" fabric she used for the backing!
