Geisha Quilt - a photo on Flickriver

Geisha Quilt

            I pieced this top in about 2008. I had grand plans of doing white work embroidery on the border, but ran out of steam. The top sat in a bin until last year when I finally quilted it. I also had to add the outside border with a different black because I had lost track of the original one (then promptly found it afterwards...). 

The pattern is called 'Kimono Grace' and is paper pieced. It took me a couple of years to collect enough Japanese themed fabrics. Where appropriate I fussy cut. It was also time consuming to properly keep the background fabric oriented in the right direction. 

The panto is 'Cherry Blossoms' by MeadowLyon Designs.

This is a gift for my sister, and she didn't get to keep it until I had photographed it. Now she can't ask me about the 'secret' quilt that she 'knows nothing about'.
