This one is a stunner!! My latest quilt...

I started with this absolutely gorgeous "Hanemai" fabric, by Yuko Hasegawa for RJR Fabrics... I fell in love with the details, the gracefulness of the birds, the depths and shades of the reds-I knew this HAD to be a quilt! 

Here is the fabric laid out, with a cream border...

Isn't it beautiful???

I used so many different fabrics from my fabric collection to bring to life the depth and varying intensities of the reds and pale colors... I tried to bring out every one of the 15 different color dyes used in the fabric. 

It can be used as a wallhanging, either with or without the border.

I love how this picture shows the sunlight through the colors, like stained glass!

Draped over a chair...


...Or on a bed... I am finishing it out to custom size, see details on Etsy


UPDATE:

Finished quilt, and this quilt is SOLD; I am accepting custom orders for similar ones in your choice of colors. 
And I ended up not using the inspiration fabric with it; the quilt itself was just perfect as it was:

  1. Oh, if it would not always be covered with pet hair here I would be tempted.

  2. LOL! So is our house, I vacuum at least once a day, and we just bought a new vacuum cleaner... I have to empty the container at least 3 or 4 times just vacuuming the living room! We have 2 beautiful, sweet dogs who I wouldn't take anything for, not even a clean house, but boy does that hair get EVERYWHERE!!

  3. Thank you so much for linking up!! Your quilt is amazing!!I'm sure that takes a lot of hard work and it shows!

    I use to have dog hair issues too. Having wood floors really helps!

  4. I can't WAIT till we can afford to put laminate wood floors in... the only carpet we're keeping is the bedrooms (the pups aren't allowed in those at all), and I SO look forward to just having to sweep it all up, lol!
    And thank you, Rene for your sweet comment:)
