Ok, now it actually makes sense to me that these are Chinese characters, not Japanese! (How little I know...)
I'm glad they all are "good" characters, because I just ordered this fabric and would have really been embarrassed if the characters had spelled out something along the lines of "I'm with stupid". :shock:
So thank you! This is actually a companion print to a new fabric that Timeless Treasures is coming out with that has some sayings of Confucius on it.
