More bold artwork and another stunning color palette, 'Tsuru' by Rashida Coleman-Hale for P&B Textiles, combines in a harmonious Japanese style fabric collection. These detailed prints are accented with fine etching in a gold metallic pigment to further enhance the designs.
This listing is for the cranes and wisteria panel design on black (first photo), accented with gold. Stunning!
I used a lot of these kinds of prints in my books 'Japanese Quilt Blocks to Mix and Match' and 'Japanese Quilt Inspirations', and they aren't so easy to find at the moment, so I'm always pleased when I spot a new collection coming up. This one even has a lovely border print (last photo).
Panels measure 21 x 42in (53 x 107cm approx), plus seam allowance.
100% cotton.
NB - sold by the panel, cut individually.
#5256PA cranes and wisteria PANEL black/metallic gold 'Tsuru' by P&B
Q - I bought a printed patchwork panel (not a sashiko panel) but it isn't printed square. What can I do?
A - This a great video from Mike Flynn from QT Fabrics showing you how to deal with panels or fabrics that have been pulled out of true because of the way they are packed onto the bolt for quilt shops. The info and tips he gives is true of all patchwork panels, not just those from QT - the panels are printed square, but the way the machine pulls them onto the folded bolt card for shops to stock pulls the fabric out of true a little. Especially for large panels, you want to get them back into true.
NB - don't do this with a sashiko panel or anything with wash out stitching lines, or you will remove the lines! Just ease those back into shape with a bit of gentle tugging, and square them up after you've stitched them.
