    Does anyone know of a stencil or have any ideas as to putting a stenciled border on a japanese quilt. HJave looked but didn;t find anything. I have a Project Runway sewing and quilting machine with various designs, but nothing that would rfepresent the look of Japanese designs.

    In a lot of the Japanese books I have, they are fond of the clamshell.

    Or what about the water design? I've used that on a Japanese inspired quilt.

    Do you want crests? Or motifs?

    (just an example - Google Japanese crests and you'll be overwhelmed with the number of results)

    Or something mimicking Sashiko line designs?
