This show has two distinct components:  a competition of quilts made by Florida quilters, and a display of traveling quilts.  Most of the latter are from Mancuso’s worldwide quilt competition.    I THINK I’ve shown you only traveling pieces in this post, but don’t hold me to it.  In the next post, I’ll show you the quilts made by Florida quilters.

There was lots to see and enjoy at this West Palm Beach show!
