    Japanese quilts have fascinated me for years since I studies asian history-many of these women do all this work by hand-one piece at a time..amazing art. I have a large collection of Japanese fabric and am trying to be brave enough to cut into some-It’s so lovely that one is afraid to ruin it or not so it justice. Foolish but true-thanks so much for letting us see these glorious pieces.
