BORO Inspired Japanese Textile Quilt ! Okinawa Themed quilt for my Boss (Please don't fire me) 

I have watched several of your tutorials now. I am an elderly quilter who prefers to not buy patterns, but to kind of freelance each quilt for the person. I honestly believe you are a quilting genius. You think outside the box and you make it happen. I am so glad I have found your quilting craft room. I have learned many things from you. Keep up the exceptional tutorials. I for one am a huge fan of your tutorials.

In my opinion, this boro quilt belongs in a museum rather bunched on some one’s sofa, bed. I love it and thank you it does inspire.

I really love this one. All the blues is just awesome. I like a more controlled scrappy and your splash of red in the applique is genius. Thanks for sharing.

I'm really enjoying your videos. They are very inspiring. I like how you show but cut out the unnecessary talking and get to the quilt. But yet you show everything needed to make the quilt. Love your choices of music also. Dave you are really so creative, thanks for sharing your style. Your boss will find this quilt amazing.

Gorgeous quilt Dave! When you have a thread cone like that, you can always just put it into a clean mug right behind your machine & that will keep it under control. :)

I thought how you arranged the appliqué pieces was spot on!!

Brenda from Mount Scrapmore gave you a shout out. I enjoy watching both channels.

I’m usually watching old videos! I think I could be caught up…but probably not. I’ve binge watched so, so many! Love your videos ❤️

Having just come home from a vacation to Japan, this video is truly inspirational. I was able to purchase some fabrics and am looking at ways to use it. A Boro inspired quilt may be just the thing!

I love your free form way of quilting!!! I also learn something new every time I watch your videos. 💙

Dave you’re amazing, beautiful quilt.

Please make every quilt a Daveitized quilt! Nothing else is more you! 💚

I LOVE this, I just wanted to use these techniques to make a rice bag! I am impressed you made an entire quilt and of course your boss appreciated it!

Oh Dave you did a wonderful job and your boss' boss' boss will like it forever

OMG Dave, you’ve smashed it again! I have long admired the boro technique, something that’s grown from a need to now be viewed as an art form is beautiful and I love to stitch sashiko, nothing compares to the mindfulness of slow stitching xx

Just such a simple pattern, but the blend of gorgous fabrics and the sashiko-inspired quilting make it special. Your fantastic applique skills add even more. Jefe surely loved it 😊

Fabulous 😊

What a treasure ! You are so amazing. Thank you for another inspiring video.

Absolutely gorgeous quilt! Love your work!

Beautiful

Blue and white is wonderful together. Nice quilt!

Awesome quilt

Wow, gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this! Inspiring. ❤

Your quilt turned out amazing, I'm Loving this!

You always amaze me and never fail to deliver with flying colors! I envy you in a good way, I have read about Boro Shashiko and love the technique and history around it. How I would have liked to visit a quilt exhibit in Tokyo and taking the class you took. The quilt turned out wonderful and delightful. Congratulations once more.

One of my favorites Dave!

STUNNING!!!!

Hi Dave, I don’t know how your video showed up on my screen but I love it after watched you. I love your free spirit inspiring whatever comes to mind. I’m a quilter for decades but need more inspiration from younger generation and you nailed it. I just subscribed it. Good Job!

OMG! How Excellent! I ❤️ your method! Bonnie Ohio 😊

This is beautiful!

Love it!

Love everything you do! As always, I’m anxious to see what you have up your sleeve next!

You are amazing! Beautiful quilt

Vos créations sont toujours superbes. Je les attends toujours avec impatience et je suis toujours ravie et étonnée par vos idées. Bravo

Excellent

Very creative and awesome!

Stunning

OMG!!! I love this quilt so much!! Everything about it looks incredible. You are an absolute genius.

Another creative masterpiece!

this is nice but may I suggest that you research Bingata that is only made on Okinawa and is an old traditional method. the traditions on Okinawa are a little different as well as the fabrics.

Awesome!🙌🤗

This is truly amazing!

Geweldig!!

This is one of your best creations....again! Every one is the best one until the next one. I just need to know one thing: what's with the Windex? Is it actually Windex? Cheers.

💙 💙💙💙💙

Sharp....

Definitely worth a 2 week wait! I have been cutting out my old jeans and collecting indigo fabric (including a piece I dyed). I was inspired to make a borro jacket by Kate of The Last Homely House. I plan to hand quilt using the sashiko style. Now I may applique a few Japanese themed pieces thanks to you! You are a marvel!!

What a delight to see you highlight Okinawa in a quilt! My mother is Okinawan and seeing this come together with the beautiful indigo fabric and sashiko was awesome. Thanks Dave...and Jefe for the inspiration!😊❤

Dave your ability to execute from your brain to a quilt always amazes me. Well done. Your boss will love it.

Hi Dave! You nailed it AGAIN! Your quilt is GORGEOUS! And your sashiko lesson was right on time! Thank you for sharing! What an outstanding leadership lesson!! - Loose lips sink ships is what I always say!🤗

Dave you are so clever! Your quilt ideas are always very creative.

I love that your boss saw your worth and let you shine. What an excellent leader 👏 I also love watching your creative process play out!

Really great project and story. The color and pattern combination is wonderful. The every two weeks is hard to adjust to but I guess it just makes it that much better when it comes out. Thank you so much for sharing!

I love how the brown and black fabrics ground the blues without overwhelming them. And the appliqués are perfect. Lovely work!

Japan is wonderful. I went to the Nippori fabric district and went crazy shopping for fabric. Made 2 great quilts. Great job and great story about Jefe.

Excellent concept and execution. A fantastic way to honor a leader who saw your potential and allowed you to thrive. Another stunning quilt!

I went to Japan with my daughter for 17 days! We traveled by the incredible train system, a variety of buses, and wonderfully clean taxi service cars. I loved talking to so many of the people of Japan everywhere we went. I arrived with one small Aloha print backpack and returned with two new rolling suitcases filled with heavy vintage kimonos, silk jackets, and cotton yukatas new and old. The most wonderful trip into the most beautiful and culture packed traditional experience of my life. My sewing room/ guest bedroom is and has become my space to surround myself with so many treasures to my eyes all stitched and woven in textiles. This explains in part why this is definingly my favorite quilt you have made so far. Also, A special Thanks to your boss that has allowed you to grow within your work which truly is how people come to put joy and their selfs into a Company. 💕💕

Dang it Dave, you are amazing! I am so happy you have a great boss. Beautiful quilt for a wonderful person!

I love this quilt! This video was worth the wait. Also- I loved the music. I appreciate your eclectic selection of music in all your videos. It keeps it interesting.

Gorgeous! As always my son and I loved watching this one!

Greetings! Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Missed you. Love the quilt and your amazing charm. ❤️

A shout out from Brenda, Conquering Mount Scrapmore. I already follow you so it was like, yeah, a good choice! Another great quilt Dave.

Another home run Dave! Def worth the wait, your quilt is really beautiful & I’m sure Jeffe will cherish it. Kudos to him for helping people live up to their potential, hopefully other people learned from his example. You’ve inspired me to make one like it! Welcome back!💚💕😍

What a beautiful quilt. I’m sure your boss was very appreciative.

Thanks for sharing your work, it’s so inspiring to see you create what brings you joy. Love your fun and fearless creations and look forward to seeing more!

Love your method of putting this quilt together Dave. Beautiful quilt. Promotion coming your way🤣👏♥️🇦🇺

Look inside your other big spools for the big cone holder. That’s where I always find mine lol

My sister was stationed in Okinawa. She told us that there were graves everywhere. However, the native people were wonderful. I have found that small spools will work inside cones. Your quilt turned out very nice. It looks much older than it is. Thank you for this lesson.

Absolutely love your channel. Found it yesterday and have been binge watching. You are so clever, loved it when you said I have a vision but I don’t know the technique. You may not have known the technique but you cracked it.

Amazing!!!OMG I literally stumbled upon your channel because of the word "Flannel". I am so glad that I did. I was searching for a more freelanced approach to quilting as well as learning the terms, the equipment , technique, styles, etc...My experience is novice and always learning. My attitude is I know I can learn how to Quilt. But, I have always considered that any form of hand made work is also an Art form. You are just that. An Artist of Fabric. This piece of work has inspired me to accomplish my quilt for my Grandson. Also, what I really appreciate from you teachings is the real" unconstructed" work space. Organized Messy is my Life!!! Bravo to you Dave..

Another beauty! You inspire me to be more daring in my own quilting. Great job your boss will love it!

An amazing and beautiful quilt. Love all the little details you incorporated into this unique work of art. I clicked on your Laura link and I can see I left a comment there 7 years ago 🤩

Thks for sharing what other countries are doing. I have heard of shibori and shashiko stitching. I have tried the stitching. I have never heard if boro before. Beautiful quilt and great boss!

Fabulous! I enjoy immensely David’s creativity

So beautiful. You are a wonderful artist🎉

Dave, I love you create a Boro Quilt in great interesting designs with those changing your rectangles of various Japanese Boro fabrics! Soo interesting and had a Toro with map of Japan- Fantastic and happiness- I lived in Japan as a kid so it’s real to me! A

Amazing creation! I'm sure your Boss will love it!

Beautiful hand stitching. Reminds me of the kind of stitching on Kawandis - a kind of quilt originating in India. That RED gate is perfect!

This turned out absolutely amazing!!! What a out pouring of love and respect this gift is to artform and Jefe'. You are a dear man.

Dave, what a cool quilt! I love putting 2.5 by 4.5 strips strips together. So many combinations. The appliqué really makes it pop. Great to see you today!

This quilt is rad. It's a good reminder that we can start with a simple block and still make something very beautiful. The stitching really makes the quilt. Thanks for sharing!

beautiful. i loved the music too. looking forward to your next video.

Five stars. A wonderful blend of East and West. I hope you do another in this vein...just beautiful, as it shows the history of indigo in each block.

I love it! I am again amazed at your talent!

I love that each time I see a new video, your subscriber numbers have grown! I am inspired by this quilt. Beautiful work! It is always fun to see how you put a unique Dave spin on each project.

Great music selections. And of course, love the quilt.

This is GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing the entire process with us ❤

If and when you find a good boss, keep them! 😂 That turned out beautiful - Lucky boss! And good job security too! 😂 I've made a "quilt interview form" for making things for people that I don't know much about their personal lives. 3 fave colors; bright or subdued; introvert or extrovert; fav pastimes; then I have 5 quilt pics, from traditional to modern and ask which style they like best - knowing that this NOT representative of what I am making (unless that IS the one they want). It really helps with creating the perfect quilt for them. Now I guess I am going to crack open my indigo and oriental fabrics and sew something! Thanks for the great idea!

Thank you Dave. The applique made the design pop.

Wow -- this one is stunning and so on point with the theme/style. What an amazing piece of timeless art.

❤❤❤ Love it… 🎉 Love the story & colors! I’m collecting scraps to make this same quilt from Laura 😊

Awesome quilt Dave. You are a quilt genius. I wanted to know what make/model is your Brother sewing machine. Thank you for the motivating videos. Keep quilting. See you next week.

Beautiful job, Dave! I'm sure it will be treasured for many years to come!🤩👍

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful Project.

Another stellar quilt. Love it

Whats the name of the iron on batting you use? Love your videos

Amazing Talent!! It’s gorgeous!!

That's an awesome quilt. Stellar!

OMG. You're Sew Very Easy impression is spot on. - Someone who watches more quilting videos than actually quilts. . . I should fix that. And actually quilt more.

Great job, thanks for sharing your inspiring work
