In the past I have made quite a few quilts using fabrics from old Japanese textiles, mostly kimonos and futon covers. I only used the “good” bits without holes or fading or other imperfection. 

My recent project has been to go back into that stash of discards to make the latest projects.

What i have been doing is assembling the piece, hand quilting all of it then going back and “mending” the holes. I guess I’m doing my version of “boro”

Hi there, remember me?

 It looks like I haven’t posted for such a long time. Let’s seeing if i can get this to work again?

So far so good

I have been making a lot of these lately.

I started them a few years ago when there seemed so many pressing issues that made me want to get out and protest. Well that hasn’t changed!
