| This Chinese Dragon was adapted from a book by Eric Carle. All the fabrics are batiks, except for the background fabric and the black border. I even added tiny red rickrack all around the quilt. |

| The back of the quilt I used a Chinese Dragon fabric print. This fabric was the leftovers from the pajama bottoms that I made for my daughters boyfriend last year. |

It is gorgeous. Your daughter is very lucky to have you for her mom. You did a beautiful job on the appliques as well as your quilting. I love it!

Linda I couldn't answer you in an email because you are a no-reply, :0( I can't make a pattern of it because I took the dragon design from a book and there are copyright issues of course.
DeleteIt was really good of you to finish it for your daughter. It would have been a shame to have such a beautiful quilt unfinished and tucked away somewhere out of sight. Her boyfriend will be thrilled to bits with it.
