This is the label on one of the back of the wool samples that Miss Ogata gave me. There was a whole box full of these samples. They were stapled with two staples at the top and the backs had these labels. I had to remove the staples and carefully pick off the labels. The gum was very strong, so I used a q tip in rubbing alcohol to remove the gum residue. Most of the gum came off with the alcohol.

This is the top with the bricks all sewn together in a brick pattern. I added triangle scraps of Yukata japanese fabric on the opposing ends of the bricks.
It looks so beautiful. The wool is soft and pliable, the kasuri is so colorful. I think this is a classic. It has a modern, yet an antique look to it.
Here is a closeup. I am planning to look for some black wool to use as a batting and either a japanese print or hawaiian print for the backing fabric. Some possible names for this quilt
