I am not a quilter, I'm just making a pieced & quilted cushion or panel.

It's made of Japanese fabrics, some from my stash (a half-filled shoebox containing 6 fat quarters, 10 or 15 7" squares, & pieces of old kimonos) & scraps given by members of my craft group. My stash now fills the shoebox! It will not expand (well, maybe if they continue giving me scraps, I might need a second shoebox.)

The cushion or panel is composed of four 12" squares, containing fans with the leaves made of different materials, decorated in diffferent ways.

My friends in the group laugh when I say I'm not a quilter, but quliters as I have observed them have stashes that fill entire cupboards or rooms, continually buy metres of fabric that just Might Come In Handy, & continually make quilts as present for new babies/old friends/charity/strangers, & also keep making queen-sized quilts.
