IQA Festival Houston, 2006–part 6: More Japanese quilts

And I know I’ve seen this quilt in a magazine, but where…it has signs of the zodiac on it, and the rope is really braided…..
Another quilt from the Hands All Around was (again!) from Japan, Spring Ocean:

Japanese quilts have fascinated me for years since I studies asian history-many of these women do all this work by hand-one piece at a time..amazing art. I have a large collection of Japanese fabric and am trying to be brave enough to cut into some-It’s so lovely that one is afraid to ruin it or not so it justice. Foolish but true-thanks so much for letting us see these glorious pieces.
