More from Quilt Festival in Houston

If you’ve been reading the blog you know I’ve been sharing quilts from the International Quilt Festival held in Houston in November.  There were so many quilts that it is impossible to show all of them to you…..but, I’m going to keep sharing until I run out of photos!!!

I have several photographs from a special exhibit of Japanese made quilts.  It was another incredible exhibit.  Here are some of my favorites.

“Blue Tone” was made by Aki Sakai from Tokyo, Japan.  The black area that you see on the quilt is just the black curtain showing through the openings in the quilt.  Very cool.
