This is not a very good photo but this is my Chinese Dragon wall quilt. A couple years ago, this was my challenge entry in the Pigeon Forge, TN Quiltfest Challenge. Each year at the show, they sell packets of fat quarters with the proceeds going to charity. A quilter must use the fabrics in a quilt utilizing them as 30 percent of the top. These fabrics just spoke Chinese Dragon to me. There are around a thousand pieces in just the dragon's body. Each little scale is a different piece of fabric. You cannot tell from the photo but it is quilted in a miniscule filler and metallic threads are used throughout. Crystals are also strategically placed in the quilt. This quilt won 2nd place at the Heritage Quilt Show in Athens, TN. It placed in the special category "All that glitters."
