This is just two rows of oriental rectangles I added navy strips to and sewed together. I like them so far. I have enough for 8 across and 10 down. then maybe a solid navy border. I'm using scraps.

Love Asian fabric these blocks look great

WoW TX ~ I just saw this pattern last night, and thought it would be PERFECT for Asian fabrics! Very pretty!

Love it and I am not an Asian fan most of the time.

I like them too!

I also have scrappy ones cut out too for a different quilt. but enough "oriental" prints for this one.

The beauty of using most Asian fabrics comes from the simplicity of the patterns they go best with. This promises to be a wonderful quilt.

Can you share the pattern, or where you got it from?

Very pretty. Looks like a simple pattern, but very effective use of bold lines.

I am lovin' how this looks!

I knew califgal would love that!

That looks great!

I actually just made mine up. I had some six inch strips so I cut the pieces out at 4x6 inches. then added two strips to the sides of 1 1/2 inches. you can make them any size, just must be square to fit.
OH, scroll down to the flying geese one here with the cat. it's the same premise. cute

Just lovely!

Well, of course. Good eye seeing those with the Asian fabrics!!!!

ETA: A while back the ladies in the Chatterbox made a Chinese door for a Thanksgiving challenge. Same principle.

The dark color really sets the orientals off... Chris

That's really pretty - I've purchased a few different pieces of oriental fabrics but haven't actually "used" any of it

I like!
