Thx for sharing!

So accomplished.

I found it here:

How long did it take? Did you fold the mini kimonos yourself?

I wish I could commission one. I lived in Japan for 2 years, and have very fond memories of my time there.

It took me a month to pick out all the fabrics and accents. Each kimono only takes a 5" by 20" strip, with the obi and tails using a 5" by 12" strip. I folded all the kimonos and 'framed' the background pieces, sewed the rows, and quilted it by machine in 3 weeks.

…be happy to be a paying customer.

I’m bookmarking this thread.

Safe travels to you. Business or pleasure?

Have a wonderful time!!

That is incredible. So many beautiful colors and patterns in the fabrics. And the origami folding is to die for! 🤩

Thanks so much for it sharing with us!!

Thank you so much for your sharing your creation, beauty that I can only gaze upon and marvel at.

. . . that someone knows how to hang a quilt correctly.

The quilt is gorgeous and looks perfect.


My wife is a hand quilter, every stitch by hand, learned quilting from her mother and the other ladies at her church in rural Alabama. Now, at age 80, with arthritic fingers, she's pretty much done quilting. She is a nut about quilts that are not hung correctly. If it's true that the one who dies with the most fabric is the winner, then, she's in first place.

It shows a lot of time, talent and love in the making.

I love the piecing and the fabric/color choice on the kimonos. And the tiny dark borders around each kimono…very nice!

I am just cutting out a new lap quilt. Very modern, sort of row quilt, with only 3 fabrics. Very unlike me…I usually throw the kitchen sink at it. I actually dreamed the pattern I’m using one night.

I hope it turns out as pretty as yours.

That takes a lot of work!
You are very talented!

I can't imagine the hours that went into it, but however many they were, it was worth it.

I love the colors and the incredible work you put into it!

Congratulations on your excellent art!
