When I saw the cover of your March/April 2009 magazine with the Kimono Rose quilt on it, I knew I had to make it! It took me a while to decide what fabrics I wanted, as I wasn’t sure I wanted to go with the formal Geisha and Oriental prints of the original. I finally chose some light-hearted prints with whimsical flowers and designs. I usually make quilts with traditional patterns, so this was a creative departure for me, but I’m thrilled with the way it turned out. It was a challenge putting thousands of stitches in it to build texture in the different selections. I really feel I’ve developed further as a quilter through this project. Thanks for the wondering patterns and projects in your Love of Quilting magazine!
