Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
Vintage Japanese yukata fabric kit from KimoYES. The original pattern was for a blue border around the blocks and white sashing/outer borders. I swapped them.
I cut the borders for the blocks a bit wider so I could trim them down to the perfect size.
Quilting Notes/Techniques
Quilted by Gone Aussie Quilting with a large Baptist Fan pattern.

Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
I wanted to make a trapunto feathered wreath for my buzzsaw blocks in my Blue Steel quilt. This was the sampler. I didn’t end up using the wreath on the main quilt, but my samples were worthy of finishing off Quilt As You Go.
Top wreath was my design.
Middle wreath was designed by Anita Shackelford.
Bottom wreath was designed by Three Sisters Fabric.
I thought the finished quilt had a Japanese look, so I named it “Hanawa” or “wreath” in Japanese.
Quilting Notes/Techniques
Gutterman 50wt cotton thread in cream. Signature 40wt cotton thread in navy.
