Dumpling With Tamiko Block

Finally got around to making a dumpling with the free tutorial from Michelle, and I'm so glad I did. It's sooooo fun to sew! Here's the tute:

To jazz up the front, I made what I call a "Tamiko block," one made using the pattern posted by Tamiko, aka Strawberrylicious here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/18297013@N00/). It's here: patchworknotes.blogspot.com/2011/11/do-you-tell-people-th...)

 

Focal fabric is from an OOP Kumiko Fujita cheater print that I bought from Ayumi (www.etsy.com/shop/ayumills?ref=ss_profile). I cut up the little squares and used them for the paper pieced block. Pezzy around that, then a red wine-colored solid.
