Finished! Sort of.....

Last year I got together with a group of 20 girls. We each picked something memorable about Okinawa or the Japanese culture and designed a quilt square from it. I designed my square after the hibiscus flower. They are gorgeous and grow everywhere around here.
Here is one of my 20 completed quilt squares.

After everyone finished their 20 squares, we exchanged them. Some of the squares won't mean anything to you if you've never been to Okinawa but this quilt will always remind me of our Okinawan adventures.
