Remember before when I asked advice about my quilting for my son's spread. Well, here it is finished and on their bed. It was alot of work but I did finish before having to return to Japan
After returning I finished up these other two--which will probaby be Kotastu covers. The pink one is going to Koji and Katsura and the bottom one is still waiting for a home. Now to go find a sheet that matches for the backing and trim. Next project is working on my own spread which must be lavendar mix and star pattern.

These are awesome Viki!
I enjoy, but to find the backing in Japan is kind of expensive...Shimamura futon covers are about 1,200 yen and will have to be cut to fit!
hi viki, I saw you on MIJ and came over to see your quilts. They are beautiful!!! I find my backings at garage sales... I buy sheets or anything large when ever I find one (for like one hundred yen) and then use that. I also sometimes use two or three large pieces sewn together.... I am a very frugal quilter.
Welcome Jan. I am also frugal and bought alot of new pieces this summer at garage sales and rummage sales in USA. However in Japan I haven't found anything offering new material, except material shops remainents and they are quite dinky. My mom was a quilter who would use old material and used sheets on the back and her quilts were always kind of shall I say used looking! So I try to keep a solid back new sheet. When I spend such a lot of time I want the result to be worth it. I found some gorgeous futon covers at Shimamura that are quite reasonable if on sale.
