Asian Quilt Pattern - Serenity
Scraps, scraps, and more scraps! I had just finished a Trip Around the World queen-sized Asian quilt for my son and daughter-in-law from various Asian prints. There were definitely enough left-over scraps to create a coordinating Asian quilt wall hanging, but what would it look like? With a little bit of daydreaming, a picture formed in my mind. That picture became a reality as I pieced together the fan and designed the Calla Lilly applique. Take a look at this Asian quilt pattern.
What shall I do with these scraps?
It was exciting to see it all come together as a unique Asian wall hanging born in my imagination, and it reminded me of a little poem I wrote a few months ago when I was organizing my ever-growing pile of scraps from my Civil War quilts.
MULTIPLICATION
Scraps galore,
Multiply on my floor,
Remnants of an inspired quilt.
Creativity spurred,
New shapes emerge,
A second quilt is born.
Isn’t that an image of quilters throughout history trying to use up bits and pieces of perfectly good fabric for yet another project? Difficult economic times can warrant such frugality, or maybe, we want to reduce our “stash.” At other times, we just want to get creative! We never run out of scraps—-ever! The challenge is to create something new from the old and actually like it. I’ll have more to say on this subject in a future post. For now, my new Asian quilt pattern, “Serenity”, was born from a pile of scraps on my sewing table. I hope you enjoy it!
