I should be receiving these fabrics any day now that I got on eBay. I ordered 10 FQs of each color. I don't have anything planned for them, I just loved the fabric.

Any suggestions of patterns that are particulary suited to Asian fabrics?

WOW Pam

Those look so scrummy, the colours are so beautiful - I wasn't a huge fan of Oriental prints but I have to confess they are starting to grow on me. :lol:
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for their use. Good luck with what ever you decide to use them for. :D

I have no doubt that you will once again amaze us with something quite spectacular.

The fabrics are really lovely, enjoy the planning!!

I'm using a oriental lantern and chinese quilt block with the fabrics I am waiting for. Found oriental lantern on about.com and the chinese quilt block on quilterscache.com.

Those are beautiful! Asian fabrics always seem so peaceful, even the bright colored ones. I love fat quarters.

Beautiful fabrics. I have several of those I bought at my store that was closing. There are many options for quilts. Don't have a specific suggestion.

I hadn't thought of fans but that sounds good. Could use some of the fancy stitches on my new sewing maching to embellish the curved edge in gold. I think there is gold in the fabrics.

Where did you get the fabric?? My mom has some beautiful artwork from when she lived in the philippines and it is in greens. She planned her bedroom around those paintings. That green fabric would make something wonderful for her room!
