I received my quilt from Gaijin/Deborah in Japan! it is a sweet little thing....Japanese theme. I hope you don't mind me posting here.....last month's thread hasn't been active for over a week AND it fits this month's theme since Gaijin lives in Japan! It is only 11 1/2" wide by 17" tall so you can imagine how petite each block is! She sent a photo copy of the quilt with comments about each block.

I have it hanging in my family room, it is so darling!
Thanks Deborah!

I am so glad the pictures posted. I am having a good chuckle at myself.....I thought that I actually posted it in this months...47th because I thought people might not see it in last months....hahaha, somehow I did post it in the correct month! No wonder I couldn't find it when I went back to check, lol! I'm such a goof.

Its darling! I love swapping with people out of country. It is worth the extra wait and effort. That is a special keepsake.

Cogito - what a beautiful crazy quilt - Gaijin you did a wonderful job putting it together; how very special. I would have it displayed as well.

Cogito,

I am so sorry you had to wait so long to receive this mini quilt! It is the first time that airmail took longer than a week to arrive. I had already written it off and was preparing to make another!

Thank you for your patience and the lovely quilt you made me and the other goodies!

Deborah (Gaijin)

Wow, Cogito I love the Japanese themed quilt Gaijin made for you, it is so adorable. Are the blocks paper pieced or traditionally pieced, they look so tiny
