My maternal grandmother had a huge influence over me as I was growing up. She was so awesome. Yes, she sewed and taught me a few sewing things. But she taught me a lot of about life and shaped who I became in many ways. I am lucky enough to have some pictures that belonged to her and hung in her tiny living room. She loved things to be very simple, and she loved these Asian themed pictures.
They now hang in my loft above a guest bed
from my husband's grandmother.

I thought the bed needed a proper quilt of with Asian influence and found these wonderful Japanese Taupes when I was visiting in Washington last spring.
This fabric must be magnetic too because when I entered my sewing room, I went straight for the stack in my sewing cabinet and a quilt began.

productive and procrastination in the same sentence sounds like an oxymoron. Your colors and fabrics are magnetic can't wait to see the quilt top. What a wonderful theme for the room.

We can only hope to be that kind of influence on others.
You fabrics are beautiful. Will make a lovely, sweet quilt.
beautiful fabrics. They have a very asian/japanese feel to them. I think, maybe, your grandma has something she wants to tell you and she's going to do it through this quilt! Enjoy the conversation. :)
Love the pictures and the fabric you found will be perfect!
This is a gorgeous selection of fabrics. What a wonderful way to use them.
What a treasure from your grandmother! Thanks for sharing them - they're wonderful. And I think your fabrics are so beautiful - they will make a wonderful quilt! Have fun with your project!
