www.FonsandPorter.com

The Fons and Porter one is beautiful. Lots of ideas forming but they'll have to simmer for awhile since I have my oldest daughter's quilt to do. I really hope the fabric comes today, can't wait to see it and touch it in person.
I wish my local Walmart had fabric still, I didn't know they carried things like that.

Fan designs are very oriental. I love those fabrics and thank you for posting the website Pam. After a quick peek I am practically drooling on myself over some of the gorgeous fabrics (and prices!) found there. Yum!
I work for a Chinese restaurant, owned by a couple who are from mainland China. I am slowly collecting fabrics to make a quilt for the restaurant (to hang ABOVE the reach of childrens' sweet and sour sticky fingers!) and I have been looking at various patterns done with circles. I am amazed at how circles can give a very oriental feel to the quilt, especially when done in those fabrics and with a sort of wavy (think water moving) quilting pattern.
I look forward to seeing what you do with these fabrics. Your work is wonderful and I am sure it will be a delight to the eyes!

this is my first post but i thought i'd share an asian quilt i'm in the middle of making.
the pic is a little blurry but i think you can get the idea. its not finished yet. i just have to sew the final blocks together.
the corner stones were paper pieced.
all of these fabrics are from the same ebay seller. i've been buying from her for years and she's great.
