ABC Wednesday: Q is for Quilt

The folk art museum in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia has a great collection of quilts.

There is no question in my mind that these quilts are amongst the most beautiful ones I've ever seen.

The lighting wasn't great for photography but I managed to get a representative sample of some of the quilts on display.

The little light spots are somewhat annoying but I did my best.

The eye-straining patience and dedication to perfection is obvious in the finished work. These are a precious bit of history, indeed!; May 10, 2011 at 8:05 AM
