There seem to be a lot of Japanese quilters. I’m curious as to how they work. Most Japanese homes have small rooms and serve multi purposes. Is the quilt show ready to go overseas to explore how quilters around the world use their space to create?

The quilts from Japan that are shared are meticulously created from many tiny pieces. How do they manage this? They are all beautiful.

The quilting adds great texture. The use of a zig zag is an innovative way to make it interesting.
