We continue our selection of quilts exhibited in 2019 at the Houston International Quilt Festival as part of their 45th Anniversary, the Sapphire Anniversary. The Sapphire Celebration exhibit is described as:
"Quilters have long used the color blue to symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Sapphire is also the chosen gem to celebrate 45th anniversaries—which International Quilt Festival is doing this year (2019)! These new and antique blue and white quilts will be suspended from the ceiling in a spectacular and unforgettable display."
To be a part of the exhibit, quilts had to fit the following criteria:

Sometimes the history of quilt can be lost to time (always remember to label your quilts). This Center Medallion and Broderie Perse Quilt; United States, ca 1840 by an Unknown maker "once had papers attesting to its New Jersey origins. But it was stolen from the auction hall in Massachusetts from which it was purchased." Featured at Houston 2017 in the Broderie Perse category, "the birds and flowers scattered on the quilt were finely cut from a variety of English chintz fabrics." Take a look and see what history you can find buried beneath its stitches.

Take a closer look at Noriko Endo's Autumn Freshet quilt exhibited at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah.
Noriko uses bits of fabric as color in her quilts, also known as Confetti Naturescapes. She layers the bits of fabric onto batting, adds a covering of tulle, and then machine quilts them into place.

In Kaleidoscopic XXXIX - Right and Wrong Sides Together, the left kaleidoscope was pieced traditionally by sewing the right sides of the fabric together. The segments of the right kaleidoscope are identical to the left, but are pieced with the wrong sides of the segments together. A single layer of black tulle covers the right kaleidoscope. The quilt measures 45" x 85" and all of the fabric was designed by Paula with the exception of the batiks and tulle. It is machine pieced and machine quilted.
