I bought this floral print on a whim at the Paducah Quilt show in 2000. It isn't anything like my style and I had no reason to purchase it other than it spoke to me. When the tsunami and earthquake hit Japan in 2011, there were calls for comfort quilts to send to the people there. (Japan has a huge quilting culture) I made this Attic Windows quilt to send and it was absolutely perfect since the print was a kimono reproduction. So no, you can't keep something that you felt strongly about too long.
