Create beautiful accessories for your home with this gorgeous guide to Japanese quilting style. Focusing on traditional designs and textiles it is the perfect book for quilters of all abilities who want to introduce Japanese style into their homes with ingenious quick-to-stitch projects. The 10 projects, which range from bags to wall hangings, include traditional Japanese quilting techniques such as sashiko and motifs such as sakura or cherry blossom which features heavily in Oriental designs. The projects evoke the simplicity of traditional Japanese decor by using well-known pieced patterns, such as fan blocks and strip quilts, together with charming applique. Easy-to-follow step instructions and diagrams offer clever ways to use panels and large-scale patterns to best effect, with helpful advice on fabric choice throughout.

I have been going through this book over and over, absorbing the "feel" of the fabrics. I have plans for several projects, and have collected some very lovely fabrics to use in them. It seems to be taking me in an exciting new direction with my quilting!

Easy Japanese Quilt Style

I was looking for a book on how to use Japanese fabric, with its bold colors and large, complex prints to its best advantage. This book offers projects that do that, with clear instructions, very helpful additional hints and excellent close-up photos. The variety of projects is inspiring and can allow me to adapt my own ideas to them. I found an excellent book.
