Quilt above made by Janet Henshaw; winner of 1st prize in its category in the Hoffman Challenge. Exhibited at the 2006 Houston International Quilt Festival.
Another thing I took a lot of pictures of was pieces with oriental influences, and quilts made in Asia (these are primarily Japanese, it seems, with the exception of a few Korean quilters). The one above was apparently made by an American quilter. There were a couple more with kanji (the Chinese characters used in Japanese writing) which I am apparently rather fascinated by. Here's an example:
This piece was made by Yu-Ju Chen; from the exhibit "Prize Winning Quilts from International Quilt Week Yokohama 2005" shown at the 2006 Houston International Quilt Festival.
(Enlarge that picture so that you can see the kanji if you're interested. It's lovely work.)
