Show quilts & little old ladies

I've been kicking myself stupid for forgetting to bring a camera to the recent local quilt/craft show, because now that I've finished the ginormous quilt I wanna make another one....and I wanted to have a photo on hand of the one I spotted two weeks ago for the colour inspiration.

Fortunately, bloggers galore, as well as show organisers had copious, no, excessive amounts of pics online, it was almost hard to choose which one to filch....ahem, borrow. I've even lost track of where I lifted these from. Naughty, naughty!

Also, what's with the quilt nazis? My friend and I were looking up close just to admire the stitch detail and the delicate fabric prints, when in swoops this little old lady brandishing her cane "don't touch the quilts! don't touch the quilts!" We nearly jumped in embarrassment. Well, I can't remember if she was waving something in her hand, but we both felt like punished school girls.

And these are the two that I coveted and wanted to drag home with me. Teal blue, turquoise and chocolate brown squares....


...and stripey yellows, oranges and pinks. Those pointy triangle shapey thingies are little applique houses.


I'm thinking of a quilt for the bub when she moves to a big-girl bed? Or maybe another one for the geezer and I? Or maybe I can make a quilt and enter it in next year's show (she says ambitiously). Then when the quilt nazi comes to try smack me with her cane, I can just say "it's okay, 'cos its my quilt. I can touch my quilt, can't I?"
