Last week During my lunch break I happened to walk past a little cupcake shop with a sign in its window proudly declaring "Quilters Welcome!" Not being an especially accomplished quilter (I will post about my T-shirt quilt at some point) I did not feel that this particularly welcome and hence did not buy myself a cupcake. But upon closer inspection the sign revealed that it owed it's presence to the World quilt show going on during the next few days. Back at the safety of my cubical I searched this world quilt festival. I soon learned that many very cool quilts were now on display only a few blocks from my work. Once I finished work I walked over to the convention center, paid my entry fee, and proceeded to explore the quilts. In this post I'm adding pictures of my favorite quilts from Japan. More from other countries will come.
I loved the sea turtles and the corral in this one. Also the way the waves were triangles
This once was so precise and the colors were extremely well thought out.
pretty much all of these quilts had me in awe of how people could have the skill and the time to make these. In some ways it gave me a different perspective on art.
This was my favorite from Japan. I love the way it combines traditional quilting with Japanese fabric and themes.
Who doesn't like mt. Fuji and cranes?
