Here it is folks, feast your eyes on all the quilty beauties! What a turn-out we had; over 40 quilts from both Fogo and Change Islands - our washing lines were straining under the weight! We took over the Wind and Waves Guild where there were quilts displayed on every surface and hung from every corner. Here are the picks of the best from the Parade, enjoy!
