Gorgeous! Where did you find your fabric for this quilt....the genuine African fabrics are very hard to find.

I do love these fabrics.

These fabrics were labeled daiwabo and came from Africa. One peculiarity of language is that the same sounds may mean different things in different languages. Sam, for example, means "third happiness" in Chinese, according to my Chinese neighbor.

The quilt is lovely. But what does "flimsy" mean?

I've wondered that, too, but I'm guessing it means "quilt top". I love this particular little top!

Thank you all.
The marvelous LQS where I got the fabric is now gone, both owners having terrible degenerative diseases.
Flimsy, as a term for an unquilted top is one I first met on the board and really like.
