Inspired by 3 large USPS boxes containing beautiful Japanese style fabrics gifted to me by my dear friend Helen.....a 2nd lap quilt is born. Check here to see the first.
Not only did my friend's fabric give me a huge creative push.....a photo of her own quilt made from the fabrics inspired me further. What I LOVED about it was the visibility of the print fabric and the simplicity of the patchwork. For someone who isn't all that keen about piecing....this 3 patch block is a match made in heaven!
The fabric choices are vast, so I was able to select mostly reds, purples, and yellows for this quilt.
JAPANESE INFLUENCES #2 47.5" X 62.5"

This block is a great way to show off those large prints you've been hoarding.....give it a try!

What gorgeous fabrics and so rich in colour. An absolutely beautiful looking quilt.
This is a gorgeous quilt, especially from someone who doesn't like piecing!
lovely fabrics and the black shows them off so very well
You must have wonderful friends for them to send you 3 boxes of fabric! Wow. Great use of these prints. I spent some time in Japan earlier this year... sadly I did not come home with nearly enough fabric.
This is stunning! The black makes each of those colorful prints pop.
Great use of those fabrics, and what a generous gift from your friend.
What a gorgeous quilt. The black sashing really make the colors in the fabrics pop!
I love the basket weave effect of the pattern. Thanks for sharing the how it all comes together photo. I can see all sorts of possibilities for the pattern. You are quite right, it would be a great stash smasher. Your color choices are so vibrant and happy.
Using black was a good way to go with those fabrics. It shows them off nicely.
