A kakejiku is a hanging scroll or painting, hung in an alcove of a Japanese home for inspiration.
And also a book by the same name by Sudo, featuring small quilts to be hung individually. Each panel is hand quilted and it took about 10 years to complete, during which time I completed more than 80 other quilts.
I followed her patterns closely for 4 of the panels, then was inspired to design my own for the rest. Two additional panels sold off the wall of the quilt store where they were displayed. I decided to join all the others. A 14th panel, though it used a handkerchief from Japan as background, did not fit with the others.
This quilt will hang on my bedroom wall--when I have finished showing it off in person.

I took panels of printed fabric and cut out other individual shapes to superimpose. Then handquilted the completed picture onto a backing with some batting in between, and embellished each panel with buttons, beads, ribbon, glittery thread, and/or 3D flowers and leaves. Framed each panel with strips of different fabrics.
For example in the upper left, I started with the red background and cut the playing cards from a separate fabric, the edges turned under, and sewn down. Then I used tiny seed beads in the ladies' hairdos, kimonos, etc.
I used patterns from a book for some of the images, like the lanterns and vase, but made up about half of them, like the dolls and the torii gate.
The stacked bowls with the dolls are from a pattern that I did make up from scratch, and it was sold commercially, very exciting.
