Ah, beginner’s mind. I accidentally sewed the back on backward so instead of beautiful fabric on the back it’s just dark brown and this panel is too small for the space so I’m going to have to start over again with more fabric. Just purchased. But the good news was as soon as I put this down on the piano, my husband’s been loved piano, and opened the window there was a peacock!

When I showed these pictures to Kazy he said, “Can you make me a blanket?” My heart lit up and I said, “Sure,” but then he wondered if I couldn’t “customize it with pictures of Shumi and o-dango…” (his favorite snack).

The pre-printed lines didn’t easily wash out so I actually threw this in the washing machine after I took this picture and it came out perfect except one thread popped up so I’ll have to fix that. I bought this from Calista quilts in Canada 🍁 kimonomomo carries it but didn’t have it in stock in dark indigo.

You can see how the size is way too small I actually wanted it to go from the edge of the lid to the other side we are kind of sticks up. So I would say it’s a good 10 inches too short. I was trying to kind of pick up colors from those tiles and the picture. Looking at this picture I decided when I remake this I’m going to try to pick up more colors from those tiles on the stairs.
