Yoko Saito's Mystery Quilt - it's on the wall!


Yes, it is hanging up!
Three and half years in making, 
Yoko Saito's Mystery BOM quilt, 
originally designed for Quiltmania magazine.

My first project finished this year.
All hand stitched - applique, embroidery and quilting.
I used the machine only for joining of the blocks and attaching the binding.

    Radka, je to skvelé, a 3,5 roka či viac, to nie je smerodajné!
    Hlavné je, že je to na stene a vyzerá naozaj na 1!

    This quilt is beautiful! I had seen lots of them together in France a few years back and I was very impressen. Yours could have hung among them it would have enhenced the exhibition.

    Beautiful, Radka, the colours are so very special and pleasing. How did you make the staircases? The ones on either side. Is it woven in the fabric? They make the village so interesting like it is biult on a hill.
