IQF Long Beach Quilt Show 2011: Baltimore Album Review II

The IQF Long Beach Show 2011 was a spectacular quilt show with many amazing quilt exhibits.  Of the more traditional quilt exhibits, “Baltimore Album Review II:  Baltimore’s Daughters – Friends Stitch Past to Future” was a spectacular “classic” quilt exhibit.
