One of the major exhibits at the Houston International Quilt Festival this year was Texas Quilts Today: Selections from the Book Lone Stars III. These quilts represent a wide variety of quiltmaking styles and techniques from modern quiltmakers who live, or have lived, in the Lone Star State. These quilts help to celebrate the 175th anniversary of Texas' independence from Mexico.
This was quite a large exhibit and TQS is only able to show a small portion of this amazing show. A companion book, Lone Stars III - A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1986-2011, by Karey Bresenhan and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes is available with a history and photographs of all of the quilts.
