So I wanted to make a quilt for my Nana and Lisa (jbsstrawberry) and Janet (dreamxer) both sent me lovelies to work with because I was having trouble finding what I wanted. I was going to do a patchy buttercup block like in the BOM's but felt it wouldn't showcase the pretty fabrics enough. Soooo since Nana loves all things oriental I found this pattern on the cache and a light came down over it and there was a choir singing and everything. So this is the first block. I'm so excited! Woman (my mommy) even had a great idea last night to quilt it with gold thread to give it that extra bit of orient look. SO here is block numero uno!!

OOO that is going to be gorgeous!!!!! Love it already!

Beautiful!
Is it paper-pieced?

Yes it is. Oh And I forgot--it's called Japanese Garden.
Thanks guys! Just finished a purple one.

Here's the next one---a purple lantern!

Looks great so far, looking forward to more pics!

How beautiful! The choir was singing? You know that's a good sign! How much focal fabric does each block need? I may have something you could use. I love Oriental fabric too!

Pretty fabric and a really differnt pattern.......great selection :D

Looks great! I saw that pattern and thought it would make a really nice quilt :)

Your Nana dhould love it - love the lantern pattern.
