Martha asked me to quilt this one for her. She plans to give it to a good friend so I really wanted to do a good job. The fabric reminded me of Mt Fuji in Japan. The blue-green fabric is a print of bamboo leaves.
So I felt like I had to do a bamboo pattern in portrait view. There are 4 long bamboo sections and some Kanji (Japanese) words for Friend, Happiness and Long Life (longevity). I found these Kanji symbols on the internet, then chalked them on the quilt. The bamboo came from a Julie Mullins pattern pack. A very nice collection of leaves, frogs and lily pads. You really can't see the bamboo pattern on the front, it is too busy. But it really pops on the back.
I used Signature Linen on top and creme Bottom Line on the bottom. The tension was perfect. I will be delivering it to the quilt shop tomorrow. I hope she likes it.
