I have just finished a Japanese fabric inspired quilt called
"Kirichigae" which means 'changed cut'. Named after the block (#39)
in the book "Japanese Quilt Blocks, to mix& match" by Susan Briscoe.
The block comprises a set of four 6in. blocks using a 4" centre and
striped fabric which is integral to the design.
Half the quilt on the diagonal is alternating plain blocks with
sashiko designs taken from the same book. That was fun to do and not
too challenging for meg.
I purchased a stack of 100 x 4" squares in Japan in May and found this
design a good way to highlight them. Two pieces of the plain blocks
were antique 8" squares - the little mouse in the top left hand corner
which is just darling - DH said it is instead of an 'elephant stamp'
for good workg. the other is Row 6, #2. They cost about $10 each
but I think it was well spent.
The quilt measures 130 x 160 cm and will be a throw on the red TV
lounge. It is snuggly warm.

OT: DH and I are off on another travel adventure next week. To the
Arctic - starting from Iceland to Greenland, Newfoundland, Labrador
and finishing in Nova Scotia. It is an expedition cruise on the MS
Fram, Hurtigruten line. We are spending 10 days in Scandinavia first.
I wonder where the quilt shops will beg?

Your quilt is great!! And such a clever design too - I really like the
effect of the striped fabric.
