Bill Volkening's antique quilts (1)

Bill Volckening showed up at Gwen's medallion class ready to go and brought with him a small selection of his incredible antique quilts.  It was pleasure to be in class with him to give a new perspective on things because his knowledge of quilts is incredibly extensive.  Bill is the one who bought my #10,000 AAQI quilt.  Check out his blog, Wonkyworld, for lots of great quilt talk.

This beautiful fan quilt has amazing stitched birds on it.  I am inspired by these, for sure!  Gwen examined each quilt very closely.
