One of the fun things about taking classes from a quilt designer is that typically, they bring along some samples of their work, and you get to see a little trunk show. Paula Barnes of Red Crinoline Quilts did just that. Not only did she bring a number of gorgeous quilts, but a good selection of her patterns. One pattern that I fell in love with instantly was Crossroads. I actually did not see this quilt in person, but was quickly able to pull together fabrics which I thought would work brilliantly.
The reds, tourquoise and golds with that bit of black for sparkle just thrilled me! I think 2013 may be my year of Paula Barnes quilts!
Here are some of the quilts she brought along to Washington as part of her trunk show:

Crossroads is my favorite, too, but the other 4 wonderful quilts are all a close second! Delicious fabrics, too.
Happy Thursday! You’re about 6 hours ahead so I wonder what this day’s adventures are for you!
Hugs!
I have been following Cathy (Quilting on Main Street Blog) make Crossroads. She is almost done and it’s looking great. I picked up Tavern Blues and Elizabeth (the first and second of your pictures) a while ago. I finally started collecting for Tavern Blue. Maybe I’ll get around to it next year! LOL!
OOOH! I love this look! Blocks on point always capture my attention. You’ve chosen beautiful fabrics. I’m curious..why the name change from Bonnie Blue to Red Crinoline? Did I miss an explanation?
Love what you have picked out for Crossroads. Yummy. Cant wait to see your quilt.
This is not about this post, but further to your book post of a couple weeks ago – I would like to add “Into the Darkest Corner” by Elizabeth Haynes to my list of suggestions. Just finished it and could not put it down!
I’ve always been a big fan of Paula Barnes patterns. Crossroads is a winner for sure!!
Really love the pinkish/brown triangle quilt in your photos – although they are all stunning!
Hope you are having fun!
Love the fabrics you picked out for Crossroads! It’s funny because the blue looks like a gray dusty blue, not turquoise, but really pretty! Can’t wait to see it done 🙂
How beautiful these quilts are! I absolutely love the Crossroads quilt. The fabrics you picked are so lovely. I have wanted to do a civil warish quilt for sometime, you have me so inspired by this post, THANKS!! 🙂
