Golden American Idol done and some

460 - 3" nine patches!  That's all it took to make this quilt.  That's a lot but I love this quilt.  Almost all the fabrics have metallic in it, hence the name Golden American Idol.  The pattern, Idol Results, is from the January-February 2013 Fon's & Porter magazine - the pattern designer is Mark Lipinski.  I started collecting these fabrics at the Houston International Quilt show six years ago.  It's just taken this long to get motivated to start it.  (I have a lot of those.)

Our local/regional quilt show Best of the Valley was this past weekend.  I won two ribbons!!!!  A second place for my Halo Medallion and an honorable mention on my Glamorous Twirly Balls quilt.  I entered my material girls challenge quilt but didn't get a ribbon on that.  I love reading the judges comments.  I see what they mean and will work on some of the things they suggest for next year. 

It was a nice show.  I didn't buy too much they had some nice vendors too. 

Thanks for looking!
