    I am enchanted with Asian prints. You did the quilt justice. It is lovely.

I have 42 pictures that will end up being about 6 to 8" square each. I had thought of using the Attic Windows pattern and calling mine Seraglio Windows. The white is my problem. If I add the gorgeous colors of India, they may overpower the white background of the pictures. If I use the garrish flag colors (kelly green and orange) they also will overpower the wonderfully crafted pettipoint.

    Mine is not an easy solution. I have been searching for ideas for years. If anyone has pictures of patterns that might help me, please post them.
    A few days ago I saw a pineapple quilt with squares that might do the trick for you by putting the pictures into the squares at the center of the pineapples. See if it might be a solution. Hope so.
