Working through my collection of Japanese fabrics I discovered quite a few 3" squares, and wanting something to do which didn't stretch my brain too much, sewed them into squares and then sashed and bordered them with a navy blue. I tried black but it was a tad harsh.
Still had a lot of squares left, so decided to cut them in half and make a 'Japanese Coin' quilt. Had enough of the blue to sash in between the rows, but not enough for a border, thankfully, as I didn't want to same look. Now I have to decide what to do for borders - will probably keep it on my design wall for the time being and audition different types as I decide what is the best. Apologies for the shadow on the photo but I use the wall just outside the room where I sew and have to take a photo looking from side.
Still have heaps of fabric left, plenty of Fat 1/4s and half yards. As it's not my style or choice now thinking EBay may be a good option.

I LOVE Japanese fabrics, and have heaps, but found it hard to decide what to make. You have inspired me now!
They look great - well done!
