I'm making an Asian theme quilt for my daughter, using the Turning 20 pattern. Asian fabrics can be a little "busy" so instead of using 20 different fat quarters, I'm using six main fabrics which makes the quilt look less busy and a little more cohesive.

QuiltE- So far I don't have a quilt for myself. LOL I'm working on one though, for me, I'm in the process of trying to quilt it, but then had to stop for the stupid broken leg, so it's still not done. Maybe by June. LOL
Painiacs-I'll send you what's leftover if you want.

I am currently working on an Asian themed quilt that is a take off a quilt I saw at Bennington quiltfest last year. Here is a link to pictures, it is the 16th quilt picture. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-65580-1.htm
It was all different Asian print fabrics cut in a circle and appliqued onto varying shades of beige background. Very simple easy applique. Because I don't have a pattern of any sort I am winging it. I am appliqueing 5" circles on 6 1/2" unfinished squares but I am setting mine on point. It is handwork so going slow. I know you mentioned you didn't like applque so maybe you can modify so it is a square in a square or square with a shadow behind it like this quilt done in rectangles. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-119660-1.htm
Pocoellie, your quilt is just beautiful! If you have lots of fab left you should make yourself one too!

I love that quilt and the idea! If I have enough Asian fabric left over from my daughter's quilt, I may give that quilt a try. I'm Chinese so you'd think I would have tons of Asian fabrics, but nope, I don't.

Maybe you two should do a split of your reserves and then do a creation to compare!

or just a quilt with the lantern block would be lovely in the fabrics you have.
