The back of the quilt shows the amazing detail of the quilting. I noticed that on many of the winning quilts the quilter took great pains to pay attention to the thread color in the bobbin. The changes of thread color created amazing whole-cloth looks on the back.

I admit it....I love dense quilting! Look how close together these rows of quilting are in the background around the medallion! I absolutely love the trapunto effect of the dense stitching outlining the leafy floral quilting design surrounding the medallion.

Close-up shot of some of the detail. The refrigerator door opens and reveals the contents! Notice the 3-D pots and pans on the wall. So much imagination went into this stunning quilt!

The "blocks" were actually individually bound small quilts that were attached together with tiny (and I mean TINY) yo-yo's.
