Having a place just waiting for a quilt helps : )

This must be a perfect place for my quilt.  With my Chinese furniture and my Chinese picture.  Well its called Japanese folding technique.  Close enough : )  If Im real clever it will be up sunday evening.  I m real good at making promises, so just let us se what happens : )

Going slowly, but going forward : )

Have done 46 up to now ... only 54 left... I will do it ... I will .... If I make ten each evening, it will only take five more days : )  .... fortunately I still love the colors and being able to take them with me where ever I go helps.  But, my mind is starting to think of other projects I could do.  Maybe I should do 15 each evening .... yes I will ...

The beginning of something ...large !

The first 12 pieces .... I could lie and say that the shape are not supposed to be the same ,  but they are.... give me some time , and I will get it perfect.  Well , I love the colors.... will probably use some more yellow ... and the pattern ... I have no idea .... first I will make plenty, and we will see what will happen : ))
This is the colors I would like to use for this project..... white for the senter .... brown, turquoise and yellow for the outside .... and of course the padding : )

Japansk bretteteknikk .....

This is one of my favorite books, by two norwegian ladies .... this technique is called " Japansk bretteteknikk" ( Japanese folding technique ) ....its pretty easy to do, but not so easy to get one block looking like the other : )  .... but perhaps after making one hundred of them, I will get it right....
