This weekend was the annual quilt show of the local guild, The Crazy Quilters, which is always a fun time to see old friends and what they've been up to. This guild always mounts a first-rate show, one of the best in the state IMHO.
I've been feeling semi-crappy all weekend with a cold that has brought with it one of those awful-sounding barky coughs. So I hated to be around other people, expecting them to shrink away from me in horror.
I hit the show later Sunday afternoon, when the crowds were light, so I could stay for the show take-down and pick up my quilt. And hopefully infect as few people as possible with whatever disease I have.
Timesteps was in the show and I'm happy to report that it received a blue ribbon.
Thanks to all of you who gave me good feedback on this quilt in the dark days of winter when I didn't know if I could ever make enough of those putzy little blocks!
Photos of my faves from the show are here for anyone who feels like perusing. I'm going to blog some of them next time. Some were real WOW quilts that deserve to be seen and saluted.

Wow, that's an awesome quilt! Congratulations! I wasn't reading your blog when you were making it, so this finished view really took my breath away. It's stunning!
From the pictures that I saw of yours on flickr - your local show was better than Lancaster (a national show)!
Congratulations on the ribbon Kathie! All your hard work surely paid off!

Wow, your quilt is amazing. It's great to see the whole thing! Congrats on the ribbon.
Congratulations! It is very deserving of a blue ribbon! It is even better than I imagined.
I saw this in person and it is beautiful... I loved the show. That african quilt my sister and I bought the pattern for and hope to make it this winter. I'm going to change mine a bit ... I'm not going to have the flower but, am going to applique something else on it.. not sure what yet...
Oh your quilt is wonderful! And congrat on your daughter's graduation!
