I like it! I've been trying to figure out what to make with some oriental fabric I bought at a store closing sale. I think I'll do this, too! Is there a particular pattern you used or just "invented"????? Oh, yeah...I like the light background, too.

BTW -- somewhere, someone suggested trying different layouts and taking digital pics of them to help with placement. I did that with my last big scrappy and found it REALLY helps. Also...I turned them into black and white photos to look for "values".....that might help you decide on the layout here.

Thanks, the pattern is Slide Show by Atkinson Designs.

I think it's perfect just the way it is. Just start sewing.

Love it. Have not seen the slide show pattern before.

I think it's beautiful just as is.

Sorry, guess I'm not politically correct. I'll say my Asian fabric, sure don't want to offend anyone.


I try to keep up, but it's hard. People seem to be easily offended now-a-days!
:? Only reason I know about this one is that I've got a lot of Asian friends and they don't like the term oriental at all.

your cream colored fabric in the picture softens every thing nicly.

Love it! Love it! I really like white or light back grounds.

Thanks, I'm still going to make your Wedding Quilt, just looking for the right fabric.

My understanding from working with Asian children at school is that people are Asian and things are oriental.
