Do you recognize these?

These cat quilts are starting to be iconic. Naoko Suzuki makes these and has had at least one in the Tokyo International Quilt Festival for several years running.

This years entrance is the red/burgundy quilt down below.

Aren't they stunning? I like her style. I like how the cat faces capture cat mood perfectly. I like her limited palette. I wish she sold patterns because I'd like to hang something like this at my house.

My snuggle bunnies, Talulah and Pippen.

Yes, that's Talulah foot hung around Pippen's neck.

2016 Tokyo International Quilt Festival-UPDATED

Schooled! By a Japanese quilter in the art of the log cabin block. Respect! I think this is my favorite quilt this year. My apologies for not posting quilters names..I do not read kanji. 

I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Tokyo Quilt Festival 2016. This year I am not attending so I am living vicariously through other bloggers in blogland. I've gathered links to this year's festival so you can also enjoy the quilts if you weren't able to attend.

Alyce B has a extensive album of the festival quilts on flicker.

Pink Caramel's video link is especially good. Enjoy! Or see it directly through YouTube.2016 Tokyo International Quilt 

Queeniepatch has been attending the Tokyo festival for several years now.  I always love looking at her pictures.

Barbara Brackman blogged especially about the William Morris exhibition at this years festival.

Taniwa is another attendee gracious enough to share her festival pictures.

Michele  also focuses on the William Morris exhibit and will hopefully share the Beatrix Potter exhibit in her next post.

And saving best for last...

Maria has posted her festival pictures public for everyone to enjoy. And there are absolutely tons!

Bravo! For all the talented Japanese quilters at this year's festival!
