Welcome back to the QuiltCon Virtual Quilt Show. I've finally been able to share all of the amazing quilts entered in all of the show categories, but there are a few more special quilts to show you. There were two special exhibits at the show, the first of which I'm showing you today. The had an incredible exhibit on Modern Historical Quilts from the collection of Roderick Kiracofe.
