This is so amazing!!

In case you weren't already aware, the winner of the Viewers' Choice Award for the 2022 Festival Judged Show—as voted on by attendees—was "Cherry Blossom" (83” x 83”) by Akiko Yoshimizu. The $250 prize was sponsored by Quilter's Rule. It also took First Place in the Applique category, sponsored by TheQuiltShow.com.

Akiko says "I wanted to create a quilt with many girls on a pink background. Each of them has various faces with different hairstyles, clothes, and suited bags. There are 640 of them. It took a lot of time and effort to gather and arrange the fabrics to make the background a pink gradation. I hope this will make you feel gorgeous, as if cherry blossoms are in full bloom, or make you smile and feel kind."
