Festival of Quilts - Post 5

Today I'm going to share some of my favourite "proper" quilts (the type that hang on walls or go over beds) from the FoQ but firstly I want to say a big hello, "HELLO" and welcome to my new followers, it's great to have you along for the journey.
Proper quilts then, because some of you have been amazed at the range of textile creations on show at the festival that are not actually quilts in the traditional sense.  Here we go, enjoy:

Festival of Quilts 2013 - Post 4

The first quilt I photographed at the festival was this one by the children of the Burgess Hill School for Girls.

Transport - Route Map to your Future

I thought you would like to see a few more photographs from the collection of historic Indian textiles by Jan Petranek that I mentioned in my first post from the festival.  I also photographed Jan's information about the Banjara as I knew I wouldn't remember it all and it was interesting:

I also want to share two quilts, with a details photograph, that were in the Crossroads exhibit of quilts from the Middle East.
