This is my first post.  Just trying things out.  I've attached a photo of "Flower Power" my latest finished quilt. I'm sending it to the Treasures of Tomorrow quilt show in Marshfield, WI.  Dates of show:  October 29 and 30.  Their website is:  http://www.piecemakers.org/.  It's always a great show.  I'm also preparing to enter it into the April, 2011 AQS show in Paducah, KY.  It's early;  deadline for entries is the first week in January, but I might as well get my entry in now! 
I love this quilt.  I designed all the applique motifs and used the traditional Flower Basket block to set them.  I was inspired by  great colorful, retro fabrics and all things retro. It sure was fun to make.  I used my usual raw edge, machine applique technique. Cheri Trexler of Arbor Vitae. WI did the machine quilting.  By the way, this quilt was shown at 2 other shows so far:  the NQA show in Columbus, OH in June (winning Honorable Mention) and the Ladies of the Lake show in Minocqua, WI in August (First place award).
