This is the final week for Tasty! Food Inspired Quilts at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles.

Tasty! Food Inspired Quilts offers a whimsical exploration into the intersection of some of our most basic needs: food, warmth, and community. The show will engage with other local organizations and community-wide projects surrounding the Around the Table Food Festival coming to San Jose this fall. Among the quilts to be featured in Tasty! is a gigantic, lifelike tortilla quilt by San Jose artist Yolanda Guerra, created from her original design of tortilla fabric. This toasty crust looks good enough to eat. In a 16-panel quilt on loan from History San Jose, each panel features a different fruit from the famous orchards of the Santa Clara Valley. Also featured are quilts from the museum's own collection that speak to the theme of local food, and a psychedelic burger quilt by legendary California quilter Yvonne Porcella.

The exhibit runs through October 27.
