Quilts at North Carolina State Fair 2012

These are a few of the hundreds of quilts at the NC State Fair in October 2012. The quilts this year were very pretty. The quality of the quilts have improved a lot this past decade that I have been living here. 
The next 3 photos are from this quilt that has these lovely creatures embroidered among the leaves. See the 2 photos below. Now look back on the top photo and you can see the other animals camouflaged among the leaves.

The quilts are displayed in a very small area, and viewing them as well as photographing them was very difficult. With so many beautiful quilts, they need to consider to increase the display are a little bit.
