Abroad!

Japanese Fabrics

I'm in Japan right now, visiting family. No working on prints or patterns for me, while on vacation in Tokyo, but I do get to enjoy picking up a few pretty things and omiyage (souvenirs). Couldn't resist a few small bits of cloth: the Japanese equivalent of fat quarters, some tenugui (non-terry cloth towels), and a few small hand towels.

I'm not deliberately choosing traditional or modern fabrics, just what catches my eye in terms of texture, color, and pattern. Laying them out together like this and taking a picture makes for some fun "photo quilting", if I can call it that.
