I would show you some of the quilts that caught my eye when we went to the NEC, Festival of Quilts .
Pretty colours in this one . I can imagine the owner maker in a world of her own rooting through her fabric![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfQZlub7WC0uCNxJB_rWzu10PkLCPZFqyMID32H02cKCBBr_O0nYeOZsTZfj2ff5fMhiTGMXE2DsY3C1v8Ni6fdaONzxNPF8SEK4nFJ-Sp_2Ss_F8POOEYGPYl2ORkSQ3XN0iCpiUmKss/s320/CIMG1904.JPG)
This is the first one of a few quilts I will show you . A very interesting Indian lady was in charge of this booth . She explained to us how the ladies from a village made these quilts using only rag and fabric from old clothes or rag they found on rubbish sites . They have no machines , just a needle that is cherished and thread where they can find it .
The quilts are not for sale . In my eyes they are beautiful and priceless . I shall put the rest of these quilts on tomorrow .![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnVkTVKk6YBiir96MgUipgPQXuQN1uiejmHwEPKZQYif3ABAsKiA_5hYO8PxDH_1Qv_G_1v3zwp6fbLucjnScA_vaOZvBc0MqVy7_5NlMX3_mQdI1WWVDQR06FSO_zpkCr5qSxVBVhd79-/s320/CIMG1905.JPG)

What a fascinating collection.
Each one is breathtaking in its own way. I especially love the one made by the Indian women...what a treasure from castoffs!! I look forward to seeing the other quilts these women made. Thank you for posting...Barb
