Thank you for sharing. I particularly like the tip about the nail file, I have never seen this before but can see how it would be useful, I must try it. I am also drawn to your Tsukubai quilt, the colours and fabrics are amazing, even the story behind the quilt is informative and maybe should become every quilters moto!

I also made some Tula Pink blocks, only 41, with some Japanese prints; I love combining it with Civil War Prints. How lucky for your Tsukubai quilt to be done by Angela Walters. Grace and Peace can definitely be found in your quilting. When I think of Japan, I think of their quilters and how much they do with so little space and fabric.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724658577253680886.post-73925421524456610722017-04-18T11:29:28.741-05:002017-04-18T11:29:28.741-05:00Hi Nancy how lovely to meet you through the NQB gr...Hi Nancy how lovely to meet you through the NQB group.

That must have been a very difficult decision to make! <br />I absolutely love your Tsukuba quilt!!!! It is just perfect. <br />When I think of Japan, I think of Mt. Fuji, and of the Tokyo quilt show. It is a dream to be able to go there some day. I have been blessed to have lived near Houston, have attended the show there many times, and have always been amazed at the quilts by Japanese quilters displayed there. Their workmanship is beyond description!!!<br />Thanks for your blog. I think I will learn a lot from you!
