Houston 2017 -- Special Exhibit Quits Part 3

Hi all -

Welcome to the 3rd and final post on the Houston 2017 special exhibit quilts. There are so many beautiful and amazing quilts that it's really hard to whittle them down to a reasonable number of quilts to post. Luckily, my internet provider sped up our lines this year so it's taking a lot less time to upload the pictures than it has in the past!

The next exhibit was the SAQA: Textile Posters exhibit.

This quilt was really cool. All of the color came from inside of the quilt and they placed a light behind the quilt so you could see it:
