Houston International Quilt Festival 2013

For any of us who take the pictures on a trip this quilt will speak volumes to you.  I love what Noriko Nozawa had to say about creating this lovely piece.

 The colours in this quilt drew me to this display of winners of the Open European Quilt Championships.
