Houston 2017 -- Special Exhibit Quilts Part 2

Hi all -

Here's the second part of the Houston 2017 special exhibit quilts.

The Made in New Mexico: Structural Diversity exhibit featured quilts interpreting the theme of "structures" made by artists in the New Mexico region of SAQA. The first quilt is a beauty made by my friend Robin. Do you like how her clothes match her quilt?
