I wish that I could show you the powerful feeling of seeing these quilts in person. Obviously, you can tell from the photos that they are indeed wonderful works of art. However when you see them up close, they are ...
Magnificent. Bold. Breathtaking. Humbling. Inspiring. Transcendent... In other words, knock me to my knees fabulous!

These quitls sure are 'knock me to my knees fabulous' ...hehe. I've never heard that saying before. It must be an original Silly BooDilly saying. Cute! I'm especially fond of the quilt by Loretta Pettway!
