    I went to the Gerald Roy quilt exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I was transfixed with the multitude of dimensional facets to this quilt. Just think, someday your quilt could be hanging on a museum wall! Just remember to LABEL your quilts!

    Good reminder about labels. I am usually anxious to get to the next project and neglect that.

    WOW! It is beautiful and I admire the load of talent of the maker. No wonder its in a museum, but I sure wouldn't want to do it.

    Just beautiful, so glad you had the opportunity to experience that exhibit. I always enjoy his interesting articles, I've learned many things from his writings.
