Japanese Blocks


I am quilting this great quilt today made by Lynne McKinlay for one of her boys to celebrate his birthday.



Inspired, I think, by her recent visit to Japan, Lynne made this quilt using all Japanese fabrics (plus a few cuttings from old shirts..... sentimental reasons).


You'll always find a dragonfly somewhere in any of Lynne's quilt. Sort of her signature and this one is no exception.










The design is one example of repeating blocks published in a book titled 'Japanese Quilt Blocks to mix & match' by Susan Briscoe.
