We continue our selection of quilts exhibited in 2019 at the Houston International Quilt Festival as part of their 45th Anniversary, the Sapphire Anniversary. The Sapphire Celebration exhibit is described as:

"Quilters have long used the color blue to symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Sapphire is also the chosen gem to celebrate 45th anniversaries—which International Quilt Festival is doing this year (2019)! These new and antique blue and white quilts will be suspended from the ceiling in a spectacular and unforgettable display."

To be a part of the exhibit, quilts had to fit the following criteria:

  • Entries may be Traditional, Modern or Art.
  • Entries must have been made between 1974 and 2019.
  • The minimum size is 50” x 50”

Please enjoy the fiftieth quilt from the exhibition by Sherrilyn O. Phelps.

Title of Quilt: Emily's Pineapple Log Cabin

Your daughter did a good job at choosing the colors. Know this will always be a special quilt for her.

I bought an Accqu Quilt die just so I could make a pineapple quilt cause I didn't think I could figure it out on my own. Yours is beautiful Love the blues.

I love it! You and your daughter did an excellent job on fabric selection and design. The elements you added to your border are very striking. You would never guess that this quilt was done by a beginner. :-)
