Click here to SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/@REISSUED #thriftflip #quilting #foundationpaperpiecing

This week, I stopped procrastinating and finally got started on my Japanese kimono silk quilt! I found these gorgeous, unique secondhand fabrics on our trip to Japan... and so naturally I'm going to cut them up to try quilting for the very first time! I'm taking your through the process with me and sharing my thoughts on letting go of procrastination and getting started on those tough creative projects. Will I ruin these fabrics? Or can I pull this off?
