(30x38)I finished the wall hanging to send to our hostess in Japan. I chose an American theme representing traditional blocks.
Using my miniature American Heritage quilt design as the template, I enlarged the blocks, simplified my choices and machine pieced rather than by hand. I densely quilted it by hand.
Since Mrs. Motani has featured fabric wall hangings from Japan and far abroad in their home, it is my hope that this quilt will find a place as well.

Oh my, you're home!! Nice job on the quilt!
I blocchi tradizionali sono quelli che preferisco, quindi mi piace molto questa trapunta...fortunata chi la riceverà in regalo
Ciao Domenica
What a lovely and generous gift - I''m sure she'll treasure it.
It is beautiful! The hand quilting is precious! what a sweet present for your hostess :)

Lucky friend. That hanging is beautiful. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Japan. The weather lately has not been the best but it looks as if you overcame any inconvenience of heat or rain.
There are a number of places to but old fabric but it can get quite costly. Some Japanese quilters use a lot of silk but I have yet to try much of that. I prefer kasuri, the dyed and hand woven cotton.
