Quilt above made by Billie Standley, from a block of the month by Sue Garman. Shown at Lakeview Quilters Guild's Mayfest quilt show.
I'm never quite sure exactly how all the membership stuff works with The Quilt Show, but if you are a "star member" you can get a free block of the month (no, not the one above; it's a new one) from Sue Garman. If you do applique, it's definitely worth taking a look at - it's very pretty. I was amused by this blog post where they were amazed at how quick Sue got her sample done, because I know Sue in real life, and believe me, that's just how she is. She's possibly the most driven person I know, and that's saying something. But that's probably a good quality in a pattern designer! and her designs are beautiful. (In case you can't get to those posts on Ricky and Alex's site, there's also a picture of the quilt here.)

Sometimes I have to show you interesting crafty things even if they're not quilts, and here's a rather unusual example: a knitted dissected frog (from Boing Boing, of all places).
And on a different note - if you're into sewing clothes, Pattern Review has 2007's Best Patterns.
