| Japanese Parasols Quilt |
Spend some time in the Japanese Parasols Quilt and add a sense of serene beauty to your sewing room, designed by the talented and amazing Lynne Goldsworthy of Lilysquilts. This project is designed to showcase the beautiful Japanese Garden fabric collection from Makower UK while incorporating the patchwork techniques of modern times.
Design Highlights & Pattern Details
The quilt is inspired by the elegant design of classic Japanese oil-paper umbrellas (Wagasa), and the geometric block construction ensures that subtle floral prints, metallic accents and luxurious jewel tones stand out.
- Final Dimensions: It is approximately 67” x 67” square so it can be used as a throw blanket or a large wall hanging.
- Raised to a total featured collection, Makower UK's Japanese Garden is a collection of intricate motifs, cherry blossoms and gold metallic finishes which are matched by coordinating blenders.
- Block Technique: Uses paper piecing (Foundation Paper Piecing) and precise template piecing to produce crisp, clean points for each parasol spoke.
- Skill Level: Intermediate quilter. Perfect for people who are okay with making quarter-inch seams and piecing at angles.
The layout's design highlights the detailedness of the fabric patterns, while the neutral framing allows the parasols to take center stage.
Final Thoughts
This Japanese Parasols Quilt project is a great way to turn beautiful fabric art into a practical art quilt. It can be placed in any prominent spot in the home or given to anyone who enjoys Asian-inspired design, but either way, Lynne Goldsworthy's quality design work guarantees a polished look on every aspect. Take out your scissors, set your scantry and have a great time piecing this classic heirloom.
