Patricia Squire's Dancing Umbrella quilt was quilted by Russ Adams of Back Porch Quilters.

JUDGE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER "Dancing Umbrellas"



I love umbrella quilts. In fact, we have one on our bed.

I had not thought to combine batiks with other prints. Patricia Squires did, though, and to wonderful effect.
See how Adams' diagonal crosshatch quilting enhances the idea of a good, steady rain? It echoes the diagonal assemblage of the umbrellas giving the quilt a breeze-tossed look.
