The following quilts are all from various exhibits that were on display at the Houston International Quilt Festival. These are only a very small sampling of the hundreds of quilts that are on exhibit at the Houston Convention Center. In addition to the varied exhibits, there is also the International Quilt Association's competition which includes the many categories where quilts compete for thousands of dollars.
The first several quilts shown below are by art quilter Caryl Bryer Fallert. These are part of a travelling exhibit titled "30 Quilts for 30 Years" which celebrates 30 years of Caryl's art quilts.
