I've been looking at all sorts of Asian fabrics and someday I would like to do a quilt in silk. They are so beautiful.

Y'all are talking about what you have used Asian fabrics for but I haven't seen any pictures!!! I'd love to see them.

my asain row by row friendship quilt

i love it!!

do you have a pattern for that crane? i would love to add that into a quilt.

My friend added sashiko rows She also added fabric fortune cookies and other embellishments and made the geisha bag that my quilt came in. I now use it every day as a 'purse' and a matching geisha is on the back of the quilt as a label

One of my friends made the crane row. She did give me the pattern but since we moved, I have no clue where a lot of my stuff is.

I am doing an asian theme quilt and this is the first time I have seen asian fabric with other fabrics to match. I love your fabric. Luckly you

Featured in The Quiltmaker January/February '06 issue was a quilt called "Being Koi" that showed off Asian fabric very simply by using triangle squares paired light and dark, pieced together to form larger triangles surrounded by a border. A diagram of a koi was used for the quilting. You would have to see the photo to appreciate it!

Beautiful work!
What fabric did you use? Cotton or silk?
Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait to start mine.

That is so beautiful. Because all of the fabrics ARE so beautiful it seems like you can't go wrong with putting them together. It's just wonderful to look at.

I found an origami flower block and I believe I have seen the crane somewhere but I don't find it now.
