    I have a few in my collection, depending on what you desire to make, i.e., wall hangings or quilts.
    I can tell you what magazine I found them in.
    I am looking for Ginger Jars, if anyone has come across this one.

    Several people have done various dragons and dolls or ladies. Have you done a search on this site?

    Thanks for the help. I should have been more specific as I am doing a birthday block exchange and need to make blocks with asian fabrics so thought I would use an Asian theme pattern. Thanks again. I have some really good ideas from your help

    If you are looking to display the fabric more than the pattern. There is a simple but very beautiful quilt made from Asian fabrics on my webshot page http://community.webshots.com/user/barbara4811. It is in the February 2010 album, page 1, second row, 1st and 2nd pictures. I don't know the pattern name but it would be very simple to make as it is only squares and sashings.
