Geishas
Size: Approximately 14.5 x 23 inches
What I learned from this:
This was a challenge fabric. The repeat on this was 23-27 inches - we each got 1/2 yard to work with. That made it difficult to work with.
I made a huge bag/tote - and used a fairly large amount of the 1/2 yard for a pocket. This was going to be part of the inside pocket, but I decided I liked it well enough to finish it as a separate piece.
The quilting is "in the ditch".

Bear, this came together beautifully. Very inspired use of color and I'm going crazy for the neutral checkboard (if I remember that pattern is known as ichimatsu in Japan). It ties everything together and gives it a true Japanese feel. SO glad you are not using this elegant, eye catching piece as a lining. It deserves to be seen!
