Favorite Quilts from AQS Grand Rapids 2015

The award winning quilts are shared by the  American Quilt Society, but there are many other wonderful quilts at their shows.

We especially enjoyed the DeVos Center as a venue for quilts. We could get quite close and far away, which enables the viewer to see a quilt at its best.

Here are some bed sized quilts that I especially liked.

I was drawn to this quilt every time I saw it. I Like Circles is by Roberta Amstadt of Traverse City, MI.


Shower of Roses by Donna Derstadt of Libertyville, IL is a Susan Garman pattern.

Chieko Shiraishi of Saitama-shi, Japan appliqued a handmade Irish crochet lave on the pattern of antique lace to create this amazing Irish Crochet Lace quilt.

I am a sucker for pictorial quilts. There were many amazing ones at this show.
Blue Season by Jan Berg-Rezmer of Gladwin, MI is based on a photo in Michigan
Fancy Flamingos by Beverly Curtis of Muskegon MI
The Finish Line by Bonnie Marshall Creel of Big Bear Lake, CA
Spanish Arches by Lenore Crawford of Midland, MI
Larger Than Life by Carol Kolf of Sheridan, WY uses amazing thread painting
Sunset Sentinel by Cathy Geier of Waukesha, WI
Daisagi-Great Egret by Chris Eichner of Franklin, NC
Judy DenHerder of Zephyrhills, FL made Big Red, a Michigan landmark
Peaceful Evening by Beth Schillig of Columbus, OH
