II took me 18 months to complete this quilt, from the day I purchased the pattern until the day I finished the binding. Hanaleah helped me pick out the fabrics. the theme is Japanese prints. I quilted it myself on the longarm at Cotton Cupboard, my favorite Quilt Shop In Lakeway, TX. The quilt is for John and my bed.

Comment by austingardener October 8, 2013 @ 10:46 pmThis quilt is stunning. Even before I looked at the large size or read your notes, I looked at the quilt and saw a complex and beautiful soji screen. The Japanese influence is heightened by the choice of fabrics, so give my compliments to Hanahleah.
