He also suggested using fleece for the backing...I never even thought of that...

My dad was in Japan during the war in the 50's and he just started talking about it. He has some good memories there so when I started making this quilt it made me think of him.

It's getting there...I ended up doing just one border...front binding done. Now hand sewing the back of the binding. Hoping to finish today if my fingers hold up.
