Asian Craftsman
Pattern Name: Based on 'The Craftsman'
http://www.quiltwoman.com/The-Crafts...t-Pattern.aspx
Dimensions: 54" X 64"
Fabric source/name:Main block Hoffman Fabrics 'Snow Festival'
Pieced and quilting by machine, Pellon Quilters Touch Polyester .
About 5 years ago, I had purchased a large scale Asian print for a OBW, but after I got it home, decided there weren't enough colors for it to be successful. I matched the print and used it for a wide quilt back. In December, I showed a friend the completed quilt. The pieced top had approximately one zillion patches (give or take). Although she complimented it, she went into absolute raptures over the backing. I decided if I could find more of that fabric I would make a throw for her. After an extensive search I found a couple yards on Etsy. Laid the top out and thought it was a bit too blah, so I added a mini red border around the center which brightened it up. Had fun with the quilting.
