Houston IQF 2015: Post 3 - Old or New?

One of the exhibits at this year's International Quilt Festival in Houston was "40 Years of Moda".  In this exhibit they showed the antique quilts that were their inspiration for Moda's Collections for a Cause.  Can you tell which is the antique and which is the reproduction?  Answers at the bottom of this post!

or 

This is a diamond-pattern quilt called "Community."  I was amazed by how closely the reproductions resembled the original fabrics!

I usually don't care for the clothing exhibit at IQF, but this year there were two fashions that I loved and would wear in a second (though for what occasion, I am currently stumped!)

This is "Snow White and Rose Red" by Diane Herbort.  Can't you see this being worn during the Edwardian period of Downton Abbey?  This is totally a Lady Sybil outfit!

This is "Venus on the Half Shell: Day Two" by Van Horn.  An Oscar-worthy dress if I've ever seen one.  Which celeb would wear it best?  I think it would look amazing on Nicole Kidman with her auburn hair!

The window valance (?) on display in the back is "High Tide" by Diane Ricks.

And of course, there are MORE quilts!

Well, folks, that the end of the show!  I hope you've enjoyed it, and if it's your desire, that you can make it to see all of the amazing quilts at the IQF soon!
