I love Asian fabrics and themes. I like to combine them with embroidered ( machine) blocks. I also have to admit that I'm not crazy about putting together tiny little pieces of fabric. Many of the Asian fabrics have larger designs, so they lend themselves to larger blocks....Yay!
I do love to hand quilt and usually have one with when we fly anywhere. Also my husband is a sports fanatic so I like to sit and hand quilt at night when I game is on. :-D
