Tokyo International Quilt Festival

Tokyo International Quilt Festival by movinghands.
This was one of my top three favorites in the whole show. Flying geese at first glance. But some blocks are stretched, and up close look like mini forests. This quilt was made entirely out of Liberty prints. The maker said that she started collecting Liberty fabric as a teenager, and finally put them all together in a quilt that she wants to use as a "bedcover in old age." Charming.

The maker had been collecting Liberty fabric since 1972.

Oh my! What a gorgeous quilt. Love the subdued color scheme and her idea of making it for use in old age.
