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".

I love what you did with that fabric! And your binding looks awesome, very professional.

very nicely done... especially with the repeat and cut size

great use of a challenge fabric. love the tote idea out of the fabric too

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!

Well done!

Very pretty, I like the geisha's on the right side, you made a nice bag.
