Japanese 🇯🇵 Honey Bouquet 💐

Here's my latest personal finish, made from scraps of Japanese fabrics!!!🇯🇵

Quilt Info:

Pattern: Honey Bouquet from Villa Rosa Designs

Size: 60" x 80"

Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20

Thread: Glide--Graphite

Pantograph: Diamonds Are Forever ⤵️ from Urban Elementz

This quilting design, "Diamonds Are Forever", mimics a traditional Japanese sashiko design!

I used a Japanese indigo stripe for the binding.⤴️

Here are close-ups of the prints. About 2/3 of them were acquired in Japan.

I downsized my rectangles a bit, using the same proportions, in order to get more rectangles out of my scraps.

The backing is half of an IKEA duvet cover.⤵️ Clouds are often used in Japanese art and folktales.

I love this finish--so many great memories of the shops and locations these fabrics came from! It will be gifted to my friend who was also a missionary in Japan at the same time we were there.

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
