I went to Paducah for the second year in a row and once again, have to say... BEAUTIFUL WORK!
I oohed and ahhed, then I looked at detail. Marvelled at the workmanship and lamented at my own limitations. Mostly, I just said one of the following.
"That's gorgeous." "That's beautiful." "I'd take that home in a heartbeat."
And the most uttered phrase, "Insane, these women must have ended insane if they didn't start that way." (Referring to the hand pieced & quilted as well as those teeny tiny miniatures. -and yes, in a good way.)
You can see the winners off the AQS website here. Just beautiful work.

I had a mishap in the am which delayed my morning departure so didn't get a chance to go to the Nat'l Quilt Museum and see the best in show winners of years past, but I still enjoyed myself.
Oh, and my tote worked like a charm. I purchased what I needed and wanted but managed not to overspend. I'm very proud of myself for that.
Now, back to my regularly scheduled quilting...

Paducah, how fun! On my list of things to do.
This is in regard to a question you asked about my quilt on the virtual quilt show. I didn't actually have a pattern to follow, just a little picture. But the quilt block is just the traditional kaleidoscope, 8x8 inches. Hope that helps.
