This is for a very dear Japanese friend of mine. The individual blocks are 8 inch, and paper pieced. I did this as a quilt as you go. I've been working on it since March of this year. I didn't think I'd ever finish it.

Beautiful! Where on earth did you find so many different paper pieced oriental patterns? It is just lovely!

Did I count 120 blocks in that quilt! That's quite a project. It's gorgeous. You should be proud of yourself. Working on it since March? It would have taken me MUCH longer. :)

It turned out absolutely beautiful!!! You have been working on that a long time. Is it a King size? I recognize some of those fabrics!!!

This is just spectacular! I love it, and your friend will too. I find the Oriental patterned fabric to be irresistible, and I have quite a stash of them. This is giving me ideas!

Oh my, that is beautiful!

Stunning! Beautiful!

Wow! That must have taken a long time. You did a wonderful job.

It's gorgeous!

Wow! The ginger jars are my favorites.

That is just so much fun to look at!

Thanks for all the compliments.

That is one big, beautiful quilt, pocoellie!
I am so impressed with it. Has she seen any of it? Does she know?
I don't like for ppl to see what I'm working on, but I can't always keep it a secret that I am doing something.
It's a bad habit for me. It puts me under pressure :shock:
You, my dear, persevered and are grandly rewarded for it.
So, your friend will be also.:-D
I bet her smile will be almost as big!

Your friend will surley love it! You did a wonderful job!
