thank you everyone for your kind words.. i am really trying to teach myself new things, and yes along the way there are lots of mishaps.. but isn't that part of learning? the basic kimono design is a 9 block pieced pattern.. i added to it to make it bigger .. i searched the internet for things that inspired me,,happened to be the dragon fly and the chinese lantern. dont ask me why,, i see it, i like it,,i do it ! i sit for hours and look at what you ladies and gentlemen have done and the inspirations are flowing all the time. i am getting ready to try a new technique again so stay tuned,,(for months) lol.

I absolutely love it!!! That is one of the most awe inspiring quilts I've seen so far! I'm kinda partial to kimonos and geisha type people :wink: It is really beautiful!!! Your hubby has a great eye, and you have great talent. Can't wait to see more of your work.

Lovely!!!! I keep adding to my stash of Oriental fabric but hate to cut it, I admire your resolve to present your husband with the gift for xmas.

Where did you get the pattern? It really is wonderful.
