Beginning at the West Coast moving East to Chicago
CALIFORNIA
California had so many entries we have a added half panel for 4 four more quilts. All panels are the same height .. all but this one are 10 feet wide. Two states (California and Arizona) had so many entries... we occasionally overflowed some quilts into other panels. Sometimes the math is perfect... sometimes not so!
Now some individual pics of quilts shown on these panels...
