Had planned on doing the Guest Room in an Oriental Theme..then life changed.
I will still make a quilt from my collection and I have a coupla other ideas
that are starting to gel.

1 day closer to Moving In Day...did take the SM table and chair in today but
can't set it up until the trim is in.
And I did take the 'bins' that were in our closet in. DH is fixing the
cutting table--got banged up in the move

Tomorrow the Cabinet/shelf maker comes....

just for the hey of it. I saw a recipe....sorry pattern for a bento box

can
chase it up if you are interested?

Does anyone else have an addiction to Oriental fabric? I can't keep my
fingers off it, and I have a bunch. My problem is I can't cut into it.
I
haven't seen a pattern that I think will lend itself to the lovely
prints
except for panel quilts.

Anyone out there like me?

I''d been collecting oriental fat quarters for a while. Like you, I
couldn't bring myself to cut them up! I finally took the plunge and
used them to make a modified Dear Jane quilt. I love they way it
turned out! It's still on the quilting frame but I am making
progress. Pictu http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...58679714YUbJaP

Oh my gosh! I would have never considered those fabrics for a DJ. It's
fabulous! I also love the setting squares. This is going to be stunning!

That is beautiful! I love how you fussy cut patterns and used the prettiest,
shimmery thread.

Wow - thatis great - how did you come up with the patterns for the
setting squares? They look to be Log Cabin and Courtyard Steps?

I'd love to see more (and bigger) pics of this quilt - very yummy!

If you have the Dear Jane book - a picture of this quilt is on page
37. I blatantly copied it LOL except i changed my setting squares to
blue. You are correct -they are log cabin and courthouse step
blocks. I used Electric Quilt to make paper pieced blocks and then
used 50 of the Dear Jane blocks from the book. My hand applique
skills are pretty poor, so I machine appliqued using a satin stitch
and rayon thread.

They look very beautiful. That's going to be a stunning quilt.
