"This quilt was inspired by the
Geisha wall hanging project. I used all 4 sets of Blackwork Geisha
designs. The size of the finished quilt is approximately 76"x 86". The
3 printed fabrics are from a designer series, "Memories of Japan". The
embroidery is on super muslin. The sashing and backing are a brushed peachskin
fabric, which has a lovely feel, but was nasty to work with. I used 3 block
designs including (A) 28 Large Plain Blocks for the Blackwork Geishas &
Oriental Words, (B) 9 Square in a Square for the smaller Blackwork embroidery
& (C) 12 Pieced Fan blocks with the printed fabrics, for a total of
49 blocks. My intent was for the quilt to have on overall Shoji Screen
effect. The quilt was machine quilted by Crafty Cats' Vaughnett. The oriental
words read Health, Happiness, Love and Harmony."
