The characters on this tiny wall quilt spell "thank you" ("Xie Xie" in Mandarin). Click on this earlier post and scroll down for more details.
Sometimes when I'm stuck on what to do next, I get a head start by repeating motifs or ideas. By rearranging some elements from Xie Xie and adding others I ended up with this fun, fast little quilt and perhaps an idea for another variation. The characters here spell "orchid" in Mandarin.
Reuse, recycle. Happy New Year!
