Sashiko quilting


I bought a few indigo fabrics from a riverside market in Takayama, Japan, last year. I've made them into a simple strip quilt top and backed it with a Kona solid in indigo. I'm slowly hand quilting it in a sashiko design in white. I so love the contrast of the white on the indigo that unfortunately I don't even look at the japanese fabrics on the quilt front any more. No doubt when it's finished, though, I will flip it from side to side to give both sides their time in the spotlight.
