Thailand
Some of you may know I recently had surgery and am slowly getting back into moving around. I would love to make a quilt for my surgeon. He is from Thailand and by the time I get something together he may not even remember me LOL. BUT when I say Thailand and quilt does anything come to mind?? I've tried googling and can't seem to find anything. I'm thinking a lap size. Or would you just go with what I already know how to do? I have his nurse sonnping to find out his favorite colors in case I can't find some Thai. Thanks Jane

I would do something smaller like a mug rug for his office. I think of brown/tan and maybe a jungle green batiks. That is what popped in my mind. I gave 2 dozen mug rugs out to my neighbors and everyone just keeps telling me they are using them everyday. I would keep it small and simple after your surgery.

Here is a site with some very nice fabrics from Thailand. I really like the indigo batik fabric. Thailand is also well known for silk.
I know that South Korea has a tradtion of using things in three's, as in 3 colors, three rows, coloumns, objects, etc. Do some shearches for the history of Thailand.

Been to Thailand and have the fabric. Like others have said a batik would be great. Love the idea of a mug rug too. Or a small wallhanging. Go to www.thaifoodandtravel.com and scroll down to the bottom of the home page where it says photo page. Go there and down at the bottom is a category of photos for Thailand fabric.
Many of the other photos may give you inspiration. Lots of snorkling and jungle pictures that you might interpret in your project.
