Cate Blanchette recently wore this dress, created by Christian Dior designers, to the Deauville Film Festival. One critic said it looked a whole lot like an old quilt cut up and tied around her neck. How do you feel about that?

Out of Chaos
Featured in the newly named "Yvonne's Place" gallery at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, will be a group of stunning asymmetrical quilts by Linda Toeniskoetter. Out of Chaos showcases her novel approach to design and variation on traditional pieced blocks. These quirky geometric combinations of pattern create lively movement throughout the quilts, and the uneven edges are unusual, almost a bit unsettling. The quilts reflect a personal story of survival and show the power of artistic expression, innovation, and healing that results while creating a body of work. Behind the jewel-toned and dynamic chaos is a rich and intimate outpouring of unique work - "the building of a quilt lets me experience this process of creating balance as an example for the rest of my life," she says. Toeniskoetter's work has been shown nationally.
