    Yes, I fell in love with the Asian fabrics when we were on a trip about 5 years ago and have been picking them up since then. I have made a quilt and many wall hangings using them. I have a quilt book "Japanese Quilt Blocks" by Susan Briscoe that I use quite a often.

    Love my Asian fabrics! I was fortunate enough to be at my local LQS when she had just put her Asian panels on sale so I really stocked up on them. Have been buying coordinating Asian fabrics so I can get started on making them.

    I inherited a stash a little over a year ago and there is a fair amount of Asian fabrics. I haven't decided what to do with them, but I also got a few books featuring them, so I have a few ideas, but can't justify starting them because I have way too many UFOs!!

    Yes, lots. My DSIL loved these fabrics and have made wall hanging for her. Still have lots of fabric to someday make a quilt.

    I'd like to see posts about what patterns look good when used with Asian fabrics.

    I have quite a bit of Asian fabric - I use it for OBW's.

    Not a single one in my stash. I have no plans on ever getting any, just not my thing.

    I have about two dozen FQs of them. I plan on making a quilt of different Chinese lanterns out of them. Haven't gotten to it yet, and the pattern is simple enough. They're not my favorites (I don't have enough of them for that super scrappy look I'm so fond of), so that project keeps getting pushed to the back of the list.
