AQS Grand Rapids 2026 – the quilts!
I just returned from AQS Grand Rapids and what a show! I have a lot of photos to follow, but first let me review how I chose what to post. I don’t generally post photos of the big prize winners as there are professional photos of those quilts available on the AQS site. I also try not to post photos of quilts I have posted before…but sometimes I forget and post twice. I have a separate post about teaching and hanging out in Grand Rapids. So here is a sampling of a great show, in no particular order; enjoy!
