The final quilt I won an award for at the Capital Quilters exhibition was la passacaglia. I won the "Best Hand Pieced" award and was thrilled about that.
Some of you will remember it from the QuiltNSW show last year, where I won the Bernina Amateur Encouragement Award.
Like Vibrant Curiosities, this will be la passacaglia's last outing. I'm going to enjoy using it, because my quilts are made to be used.
My friend Debra who designed the layout of the show, put my la passacaglia next to another millefiori quilt, and they looked perfect together.
The Moncarapacho in the centre is one of Willyne Hammerstein's designs from Millefiori Quilts 3. This version was made by Amanda Evans and I just loved it - quite possibly because it's blue and green - my favourite colours.
I will write about how I get my quilts basted by a long armer in my next post.

Your quilt is so stunning! The colors really make it as well as the border print.
I agree that Amanda's quilt is gorgeous as well. I do love blues and they really shine with the purples.
Another well deserved award. I also made a Millie and it was and is my legacy quilt I believe. I love it. Your quilts always insprie me so I'm anxious to see what you do next!
There are probably more tiny little pieces in those three lovely quilts than in all the rest of the show. Just amazing!
Congratulations on your well-deserved ribbon! I agree, quilts are made to be used...enjoy snuggling under it hugs, Julierose
