Hilary Jones sent me these photos of her version of my 'Time and Again' quilt. Like me, she used kimono fabrics for the block centres and writes -
I thought you might like to see my version of your super design that appeared in P and Q magazine Jan. 2004. I was given a number of pieces of kimono silk by my daughter in law's family when we went to Tokyo in Feb 2010 for our son's wedding. I looked for a long time for a design to showcase the wonderful gift, and I found your design. It was, as you say ,a perfect design for the amazing gift of kimono silk. I still have quite a bit left, but do feel your design showcases the beautiful fabrics. I hunted for quite a while to get the right 'cherry blossom' to create the 3d effect. So thank you again!
It is a super design for featuring special fabrics and I'm about to start on a few remakes of it myself, as I've adapted the pattern for a jelly roll workshop - since there are several ranges of batiks that are now available as 21/2in strip cuts.
I like the 3-d effect with Hilary's flowers too. Looks like it was the perfect design for her kimono fabric collection! The batik colours are very close to the original, but I like the introduction of the sandy peach colour as a focus.
As this continues to be my most popular pattern (even though it was made in 2001 and the pattern appeared first in 'Patchwork and Quilting' magazine before I published it myself - it's on the pattern page on my website), I am considering having it translated into French for the Quilt Expo in Viville, near Cognac, in July 2012. What do you think?

I really like it and I can see it working in Europe in general, so yes I would probably go for it.
