for my Kimonos & Kanji quilt. I just got it back from my long arm quilter (she is still in Minnesota -- I'm in Michigan). I will continue to send quilts to her because her work is so extra-ordinary! I'm sure you'll agree. (you'll see it in my webshots folders -- right at the top!)
While the pictures give you a hint of the wonderful quilting on the quilt - you really need to see it to appreciate it.
The binding is yet to do (I really don't mind doing bindings) -- but for now the quilt is hanging in my LQS -- as advertising for the kimono & kanji quilt class. The class will just do the center portion (a wall hanging --
2 - 1 - 2 of kimono's and I will share with them patterns for the 4 kanji words of their choice). The binding will be the dark red of the inner border. I think I might have liked it better had I done that border in black -- as the red doesn't fit well with the majority of the kimono's -- but it's not too bad.
The outer border was made of 4" drunkards path blocks -- on point -- was a VERY challenging border. I had to work backwards to get the measurement of that border (and it was ALL BIAS edges... UGH) to decide the size of the finished inner portion of the quilt. Math usually isn't a problem - -but this one had my brain cells really doing overtime!
Anyhow -- hope to be binding it pretty soon. Then I will be busy dancing... dancing... dancing.
