Thread: Any Asian fabrics in your stash?

And are they just staying there, or have you been using your Asian fabrics?

What have you made with them ... or are planning to?

I have lots of them! They are my current favorite fabric. Those and batiks. I have used several in different quilts. Have not really used an Asian design for any of them. They are such lovely fabrics.
In fact I bought several of them from your shop!!!!!

I am currently making an applique quilt with mine. I am appliquing 5" circles on 6" background squares. Each circle is a different asian print or a different scene from the same print with multiple scenes. All by hand with prepared circles with seam allowance turned under. It is my to go project so I work on it very sporadically. Don't even know how many I need to get up to size so am always on the hunt for more Asians. I think they are beautiful.

I have a fair amount. I love them and drool over them in fabric shops. I haven't done anything with them yet. But I will...someday!

I do use a great deal of what sometimes falls into category of Asian, because so many have metallic. There a some that will remain in my "museum" because they is not yet a project worthy of these fabulous fabrics. I have been getting a bit more bold about using "museum" pieces as there have more available lately. I make quilted clothing with them and home dec . items. There seems to be more of the larger panels .. and I am not inclined to purchase panels.

I have what my son picked out for a quilt, I hate to cut into it lol. I love them

I love them. I have the pattern for a bow tuck bag all picked out and recently did a wall hanging with some of them but I want a quilt pattern to use the rest, thinking a fan quilt so I can get them all in there. The asian prints are stunning, I just love them.

don't have any

Not a single piece. I saw a jacket at a quilt show using Asian fabrics and it was fabulous. Maybe someday.

I work with Asian fabrics quite often. This is my most recent one for my #2 son,
