Beautiful.

They are beautiful!!! and send me the purple one :lol: I plan on making a purple quilt for my twin for x-mas and it will be the perfect start! :lol:

The pattern is Jenny Neimeyer´s Japanese Fans, you can google it on her site and yes it is paper pieced.

I am sure I could let you just have one to start you off.
:D
PM me your address. :D

Elle!!! Wow!!! Those are pretty pretty pretty!!!

Beautiful! A work of art!

love..love..love the pattern and your fabric choices. I have always wanted to do one so will check out the website....is this too hard for a newbie?

I there, if you can paper piece then you will understand the principle of this quilt, but if youhave never paper pieced then this would be challenging. However I am always up for a challenge and never let anyone put you off if you really like this. Did what I did and hand sew them. Even if you don´t want to do them all by hand it will let you understand how each one is sewn.

GO ON have a go. you can always ask for advice I will willingly help you.

Thanks, this pattern is indeed a work of art.

I might just let you lie under it when you come. Sneaky aint I :D

Thanks Lisa, looks good in person.

I absolutley ADORE anything oriental, your panels are lovely, can't wait to see the finished project!

Oh so do I there is just something about them and the flashes of gold on the flowers, just beautiful.

You know,,,I might LET you keep this one because there are a couple others you have that I have my eyes on too! lol

Beautiful work. That feeling of inner calm is coming through the pics. Will look forward to the finished result.

Those are really beautiful. I have never known anyone to hand sew and PP at the same time (except for English PP, which is different because you don't sew through the paper). So I have to ask - are you actually hand sewing through the paper? That sounds really difficult. Or have you modified the Niemeyer PP process somehow? (and if you did maybe you should write a book about it).

Hi Dunster,

First let me say that the paper and pattern is already pre- printed that I bought, the paper is very thin and quite easy to sew through. I simply back stitch it all the way through the paper and fabric its not hard at all. I would think if you used the printed paper you get off a printer it would be difficult though, but not with this paper. You can buy this type of paper but ca´t remember what it is called..

New York Beaty is very similar to Japanese Fans. just a matter of the layout.

Beautiful

Looking forward to seeing more pics of this stunning quilt!!!

Oh you will, but have had to stop for a bit, getting married is taking up a lot of our time at the moment. Family due next week so its all hands on deck getting things sorted.

However I promise to show you more later.

Elle

Congratulations on the wedding. I hope all goes smoothly.

I can tell you are a dedicated quilter, otherwise you wouldn't be checking the quilting forum while preparing for the wedding!

Oh yes, when once you start this quilting it gets you by the neck :D Thanks for your good wishes.
