Paula Nadelstern exhibit

I took about 40 photos at the New England Quilt Museum and I'm going to have to split them into 3 posts over the next week or so. Today I'm going to share the photos from the Paula Nadelstern exhibit. It wasn't a huge room but it was filled with her quilts that spanned from her early years to recent work. I recognized many of them from previous exhibits and from her books but they all look different in real life.
​

This is the first quilt you see coming into the exhibit room and it's one of her earliest quilts.
​

The exhibit really shows the evolution of her style while still staying true to her symmetry roots.

This is a quilt I have loved in one of her books.

It was cool to be able to study it up close.
​

I love everything about this quilt but I was really attracted to the background treatment.
​

I remember talking with her while she was making the dinner plate quilt. The quilt on the right is fairly recent.
​

Both of these are in books and I love both of them.
​

This one is a favorite of mine from one of her books and I was surprised that it was bigger that I thought.
​

In the end, I think this is my favorite. I've never seen it before/
​

Look at the piecing detail! 

I'm so glad we took the detour to visit the museum. 
​More photos to come!
