Dear Readers,
So this is second quilt for Jennifer's step-children. This is for a young man who loves Japanese things. So I went through my stash and found these fabrics I bought in Japan in the 1990's.
This is the first time I have used a panel for a center. Since it was long and narrow I made some of the vertical strips wider and I put 9 patches on the sides and 4 patches on the horizontal. I fussy cut up a piece of fabric that had a bunch of Japanese symbols on it and used those for the outside border. I found the Japanese origami crane pattern on line and downloaded it and paper pieced the cranes.
I pulled the black piece and it was not big enough so I found a long piece of maroon that I cut off of the last cowbell quilt and used it. It made it just the right size, but I decided to put the white in for fun.
Sew on,
Terry
