my girlfriend LOVES IT! yea. thanks everyone- it may very well be the only oriental themed quilt you see from me (but then I have said that about paper pieced quilts- which I've done dozens of now)---- you just never know what the future will bring.

sometimes I try something new- hate it- and a few years later decide I love the process- or technique- *i'm pretty sure this Irish girl will never be 'oriental' though
