The Modern Quilt Guild Exhibition at Quilt Market 2012 in Houston

Yesterday I got a chance to look at the quilt exhibitions at Quilt Market 2012, and started out with the Modern Quilt Guild‘s exhibition. Gorgeous gorgeous, I took photos of the ones that really struck me, and since I take the photo first and then look and see who designed the quilt second, I got surprised a couple times to see I had chosen quilts people from my own East Bay Modern Guild. Hooray!

Without further ado, my picks and pics -keep in mind there are limitations photographing in this environment and there are at times things obstructing a view of the whole quilt, but enjoy anyway!
