My favorite kind of post - beautiful work, with history and literature thrown in for good measure.

Too, the information I learned from your narrative about the Chinese compass is <br />fascinating. What I would love to see you do is a larger version of this quilt. Leave this little 12 x 12 as is and do a bigger one, in which you can include the seven mansions or moon stations. Think about it!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.com
