In 1995, a group of twelve patchwork lovers in various parts of Japan formed the Nihon Heritage Quilters Guild. This group participates in an annual quilt challenge, and every few years, the challenge is extended to include other nations. A list of 30 world-famous painters was chosen and given to a group of quilters from Japan, France, and the U.S. This exhibit was designed to compare the techniques and styles between the nations as they represent the works of the each famous painter. The exhibit will be touring AQS QuiltWeek events in 2016, but you can see a preview now.
