Hiroko Nakayama's Quilt - "Mariage": Take the Time and Just Marvel

We stopped for awhile in front of Hiroko Nakayama's quilt "Mariage" (French for "Wedding"). First we admired all the points in the quilt. Then we realized how many triangles that took. Then we realized that there was hand work in the black triangles. Then we realized how she angled the straight line quilting. Then we realized how she worked the spikes in the corners. Then we realized we weren't getting enough pictures of other quilts and moved on. You, however, can linger here as long as you need.

It is a marvelous quilt. I would love to go tomJapan to one of their quilt shows. The different shades of blue/violet. Outstanding.

Leave it to the Japanese for artistic creations and attention to detail. I can not imagine the hours it took to make this quilt. Magnificent.
