Masako Sanada's quilt, When Everyone's Heart Blooms, stopped us in our tracks in Houston. It is a masterpiece in piecing with every point perfection. The mandala "flowers" are made up of layers of appliqué, which makes them look like they are blooming. The hand quilting and beaded piping along the border highlight the design. We took a number of photos, take a look and enjoy the view.

 

Masako's quilt is made up of kimono and futon fabrics along with silk and cotton. It was displayed as part of the Balanced Piecing and Appliqué exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.
