Bamboo and Pinwheels quilts
I was in my local quilt shop picking up my block of the month in January when I saw a quilt that I just HAD to do. It was made of all sparkly fabrics that looked oriental when it was all put together. They have a great service where they'll kit up any quilt you see in their store (and even, I think, if you just have the pattern but don't have the time to kit it up yourself). so I asked them to do that for me, and here are my fabrics!
