Asian Odyssey has been birthday-gifted to our daughter in law! She chose to have her birthday dinner here ~ how utterly perfect!!I've posted about this project several times ~ including here and here and here ~ if you want to see more photos of the fabrics and some of the amazing places she visited, you can visit my Picasa album.
So many kudos to Chris for her fabulous free motion quilting that truly made this quilt sing!!
This is a closeup of the center block where I hand applied the final bits after everything else was finished. [reminder, all photos will enlarge if double clicked]
And, yes, I did create a label using a few last bits of silk (outer borders created using the teal kimono's waist tie to give me me a finished outer edge to work with).
It took a very long time, a lot of research, and even more pondering ~ but the resulting 45" x 60" wall quilt has surprised even me. And the very best part? She loves it ~ she really, REALLY loves it!!!Quiltdivajulie

Amazing! I love everything and exceptionally adore that little elephant. Just an element that pulled me in...
Your talent makes me smile. :)
Julie,
You have created a true work of the heart - thank you for sharing it along the way!
Fabulous! I can only imagine how thrilled she was to receive such a special gift.
This is beautiful! What a special memento quilt you've created. I'm sure she'll always remember your kindness and artistry in creating this for her.
It turned out GREAT! I know she had to be so thrilled. What a sweet thing you did for her, she is lucky to have you!!
I love the label, too!! You went all out!
