    I don't have any right now. The last I had I actually bought in Okinawa, Japan when I was visiting my daughter in the Air Force. I recently purchased an Asian panel and as soon as I can get to a LQS I will be looking for Asian prints!

    I just finished all the blocks for a ying Yang quilt where I used Asian fabrics and Batiks. Once I finish the center than I have to figure out what kind of a border to put on it. I hated the one the teacher used. Just didn't go with her center at all. Looked like she just wanted to be done or had a deadline so thru a spiky border on. Ugly!!!! I might do an appliqué border or something like that. Jan

    strange you should ask. LOL I have a collection of Asian fabrics. I just added 12 more. I had a brainstorm to make a Dresden plate using a charm pack of Asian fabrics on a black background. I've looked and looked for Asian charms packs and couldn't find any. Good thing I've collected Asian fat quarters for a while. I"m waiting for my template to arrive so I can begin. Thanks to the lady that gave the link for the Missouri Quilt Shop.I'm sorry I don't remember her name. But she's the that gave me the idea after watching it on utube.

    I have some black on white and white on black fabrics with caligraphy on them. Have no idea what to do with them at the moment. I had them in my hand and then realized I wasn't sure what to do with them, but my boyfriend convinced me to still buy them anyways if I liked them. Also have some white fabric with black caligraphy and red stamps on it (it was on sale at JoAnn's!).

    I want to try and make a origami crane quilt so I'm hoping to get more Asian themed fabrics (hopefully more than just caligraphy ones).

    I have 2 rolls of dragonfly fabrics and am mixing them with 2 rolls of stonehenge - all in neutral colours to make one of those miles long strips, halved a bunch of times - am adding a few shots of red.

    There is a free pattern on the Michael Miller Fabrics website called "Tea Time In Tokyo." It is one of my favorite uses of Asian themed fabric. There are some others on the same site and are also free.
