Marcus Fabrics - World Tour 2001, Japan Block

Today, artistic Eastern influences are prominent in every area of design, and quilting is no exception! Our lovely hostesses, dressed in their traditional kimonos, take us on a stroll through a Japanese garden, as we travel east on our World Tour.

This series is designed for fusible web appliqué. Pattern pieces are reversed and ready to trace onto fusible web (please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on how to use fusible web). When your block is finished, you can add a fun border to display your quilt individually or join us each month to make all 6 blocks in our series - sew them together with borders and sashing to make our complete World Tour quilt. The finished 6-block quilt with full assembly instructions will be available with Block 6. If you plan on making the full quilt, do not cut borders, backing or binding at this time, simply put your blocks aside after step #3.
