The kimono silk is on your left. The top right panel is based on the Akebia quilt block from Kumiko Sudo's "Fabled Flowers", featuring fabric origami and machine sashiko. The middle panel is randomly strip-pieced. The bottom panel is machine paper-pieced. The geisha dolls on your lower right are cut from a fabric I acquired from one of my colleagues in the Wearable Art Study Group of the Pacific Northwest Needle Arts Guild. The label is a dog motif cut from the same fabric and marked "ACRG 1996". The armholes, hem and neck edge are piped with a small green and yellow checkerboard. The buttonholes are formed from gaps between the piping and vest front, based on Lois Ericson's "The Great Put-On". I found the mother-of-pearl buttons at a garage sale.
 

I had some silk scraps left over from the vest front, so I put them over my right shoulder. Sudo's Akebia block continues over the left shoulder, and the strip piecing and machine paper-piecing panels continue from the left front. The outer blocks of the lower panel are cats cut from the coordinating fabric mentioned on the front, and the middle is another silk scrap.
