Asian Fabrics and a Fabulous Pattern

This is Peg's quilt.  Each large block is a different Asian fabric.  I love this pattern so much I am adding this to my list of 'gotta-do's.'  Lots and lots of ruler work went into this one.  Isn't it pretty?

I think this would look great with some of the larger modern prints, too.

 The back looks pretty cool, too.

To Mia with Love!

My youngest granddaughter, Mia, who turned three on December 2, moved to a big girl bed well over nine months ago and I just finished her quilt for the new bed.  I recycled her window valance, bumper pads, and dust ruffle, added some new fabrics (lots of new fabrics... too many fabrics) and came up with this cheery quilt.  I say too many because I ended up buying almost double the needed fabrics trying to find just the right mix.  I had even made all the blocks with completely different sashing strips, and then ripping them all apart and starting over!

This is going to Montana tomorrow.  Wish I could just take it to her...

My other daughter, Mia's auntie, will do the binding for me.
