Title: "Oriental" patterns...
Post by: GrayBeard on February 09, 2012, 05:23:04 pm

My S.O. spent several years in Japan and her place has a definite 'oriental flair' when it comes to art and decorative items.
Thus my decidedly Southwestern/Native American slant to my cuttings just don't really fit in.

If any of you have any leads on 'oriental patterns' I would sure appreciate the information!

Hey GB, Here's one grampa converted for me: http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5351.0;attach=6877;image.
I cut it at 4" x 4" for the Japan relief Quilt, Then I cut a stack of four at full size.

Thank you all for the 'leads'....

I think I have enough now to get through "V" day and beyond.

If you happen on anything else interesting just drop me a PM!

Help from friends is always appreciated!
