sspingler Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Pretty quilt. I would bamboo the dark background and do upside down clamshells and other oriental type shapes in the kimonos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg_marsh Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I would use various sashiko (sp??) patterns in the kimonos - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 McT'ing would also look good - like Japanese waves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calicokat Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I would look for some pictures of actual kimonos and try to add the kimono details to the kimonos on the quilt -- maybe webshots or some library books? Like, I know they have a sash in the middle, and a big bow on back, right? Maybe lines in the sleeves to accentuate the way they hang/drape on the arms?

Dave-Jane Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 The ladies all have such good Kimono ideas, in the lanterns I'd use the yin and yang symbol and shadow the top and bottom to accent them. I think one may incorporate glitter and or metallic thread on the Kimono's. Good luck!! Let us see when your done. Have a great day! Sew we'll see you later. ------------Dave B.

Judi Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Carol - I like Kats idea, to add a belt, sash, or bow-like kind of detail to the Kimonos. That is the first thought I had too. As for the laterns - I would make them into the folded lantern with the quilting - border off the top ridge then quilting the "folded" paper lines up and down to the top. Those lines could curve with it, all go straight up and down, or all meet in the center. I would have to chalk it on them and see which I liked best.... after looking at it for a bit. Personally I would use a Gold metallic thread on all of the pieces - I love that look on the asian fabrics. Plays well together! I do like the Bamboo that Sheri posted - that would look great on there someplace too! Good Luck - can't wait to see the finished photos!! :cool: What a fun quilt!
