Frequently Asked Questions
What is sashiko?
A traditional Japanese hand-stitching technique of white running stitches on indigo cloth, originally for mending and reinforcement. Sashiko-print fabrics give you the look without the hand stitching — or serve as inspiration to try the real thing.
What palette suits a Japanese-inspired quilt?
Indigo and cream form the classic foundation, with soft pink for blossom prints and a touch of red or gold as accent. Restraint is part of the aesthetic — two or three colors go further than six.
How should I use large-scale wave prints?
Let them breathe in big patches, borders, or a whole quilt back. Their sweep is the point — cutting them small turns dramatic waves into ordinary blue texture.
Used one of these in a quilt?
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
