I never had the gift of origami. Daughter Creations did. Beautiful roses. There is a book that I own called Quiltigami (or very similar). Beautiful projects! If you're interested let me know and I'll look at the exact name and author.
Stephanie,
I'd love to know the name of the book. Wait, I can find it on Amazon. I'll go look. Thanks for telling me about it.

I made rose origami once and I don't think I would make that much!! That's so beautiful!
Rebbecca Wat's Origami Quilt is fun to make, too :)

really cute!
Yes, I have made an origami quilt - a baby quilt to be exact! (Of course, all the quilts I have made are baby quilts...) Turned out so cute. I used a pattern from this book http://www.amazon.com/Fantastic-Fabric-Folding-Innovative-Quilting/dp/1571200851 but I used pretty bright flower colors and leaf green.
I made the kimono quilt from "Fantastic Fabric Folding" by Rebecca Wat. I found the flower quilts too complex. I think paper origami would be easier.
Wow, I just went to Amazon and entered "Quiltagami" in the Search box, and there were lots of interesting books about folded fabric that came up! Take a look.
Have you tried this method? If so, email me a photo and I'll feature it here on the Selvage Blog.
