I have one with flying cranes on it. Haven't done anything with it.

Definitely! Love the delicate detailing. Also have a number of panels that are going to become the center of either a quilt or a wall hanging.

I have a small stack of them. I'm a newbie and haven't collected many or used any yet but I do plan to at some time. In addition to quilting cottons I have some silks, etc. with an eye towards a crazy quilt one day.

Just love them,, however, not enough stores carry them in my area. I am 50 miles one-way to Jo-anns or Hancocks. Thankfully they are bothin the same shopping plaza.

I think I am doing the same quilt. I have enough squares now but then need to be squared up. Haven't decided on a sashing yet. I have a huge stash of asian fabrics that are too pretty to cut into. Boy is that dumb or what?

I have quite a collection. Love them all so much I have a hard time cutting them. I want to make a quilt so much but have not been able to decide on a pattern.

Started buying Oriental fabric this spring. Like everyone else I am having a hard time cutting cutting into them. The colors are so pretty and I don't have a pattern in mind.

I picked up 2 colorways of this lovely cotton dragonfly print from Etsy seller Japonpon...this brown/red dots and a dark blue/red dots, and I too, can't manage to cut it or even find a pattern I'm happy with. I've got coordinating fabric to go with it, though!

Okay, so it's brown(s) and red berries!
