Ingenious. Artistic. Creative. Imaginative. You put so many talents and skills into the making of this quilt. I love the way the flowers drape. You did your research and made an heirloom your family will be proud of for generations yet to come. Good job. Thank you for letting us enjoy the journey with you.
Regards, Dorothy

Another similar idea is apply a fusible web such as steam a seam 2 or misty fuse to the back of your print, then fussy cut out the dragon and other sections, spread them out on the black fabric and raw edge applique them down using a satin stitch. If you cut the 3 yds of black in half and then sewed them together you could make a 54" sq medallion. Then make a red and black border, maybe half square triangles or one of the borders from quilters cache. I think I would save the white of another project.

Really like it! So creative, intriguing, a delightful work of art! My only reservation (which is entirely a personal preference, not an artistic statement) is that I would have made the white border narrower. I have this thing about worrying that white will get dirty too easily. But it certainly does look great, so I really can't argue from anything other than my own prejudice. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what you will do next. You've set a very high standard.

I loved the stitching you did on the dragon. Then you jumped right into the symbols and thennnnnnnnnn came the branches with flowers. Oh,,,,,,,,,my,,,,,,,,,goodness. !!!!!!!!!!!!
Your work is marvelous and I have really enjoyed your sharing it with us at each step.
