Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum - Part Deux...

This was probably my favorite quilt. Just loved the brights on black background and the subject matter also.

This one was a tribute quilt - the story was about a terrible tragedy that took place in 1911.
The details are hard to see here because of the darker fabrics and no flash - it was very cool though.

Beautiful work of art. Fantastic composition and awesome quilting.

Found this one very interesting. It's not really my design aesthetic but it was beautifully designed and made.

Another beautiful quilt. I'm sure every piece was hand-dyed.

Close up - you can see how heavily quilted it was. Gorgeous quilt.

A fun one.

They certainly let you know you've arrived! : ) Cute town. Would enjoy going back there again.

Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum


The original antique inspiration


Close up of the original...

While I was out in Colorado a few weeks ago, thought I'd check out the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden.

There were two shows - one was a challenge where all quilts used the same  . Fabric line. The other show was a NYC quilt guild's offering of modern quilts. Two great shows. No "museum" in sight, however, which was a little confusing. Still, it was a very enjoyable visit.
