Quilters Unlimited Show 2018

The annual QU quilt show was held this past weekend in Northern Virginia at the Dulles Expo Center.  Over 500 quilts were on display made by members of the 11 chapter guild, and over 70 vendors had their products available for purchase.  As always, it was an inspiring show with lots of great workmanship on display.  These are some of our favorites from the show.
