Japanese Queen-Size


Finally, this top is nearly done. It needs two borders and some appliqued Japanese family crests, then will be ready for quilting. 


Here are a few of the crests. If you search "Japanese Family Crests" you will find hundreds of them.
 
It was a special order for my GD who at first wanted the cherry tree (at the right). After the tree was finished, we decided it should go on the wall and this queen-size would look great with a kimono. She has never been to Japan but has studied the language and culture.

I don't have a name for it yet. Any suggestions?

Very dramatic! I love the placing of the background colors.

That is just lovely, so striking! Maybe use the Japanese name for Cherry Tree (Sakura) in the name.
