I am looking for a design for my next quilt, preferably with either cranes or pandas. I want it to have an oriental look to it. Does anyone know of a good place to get the design or even just some cool oriental pictures that i can get ideas from?

Ok, this may just be a really stupid idea, but have you thought of looking at origami books? If you did them as line drawings, then they are really basic shapes and I really think for instance some of the butterflies would look good as quilt pieces that way. Maybe also look up kanji or chinese characters and see if some of them would work well incorporated into a design. Peonies, some woodcuts, chrysanthemums....
Otherwise, this person did a bunch of "oriental style" quilts you could look at to get ideas. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/77638135IMRFQA
There are some commercial patterns out there too, I like Helene Knotts, you could search for those.
Have fun!

Since you know what you are wanting and would like. You also know about what your finished design should be. Why not design your own for your satification. Then you could go on HGTV and show off your new quilt design.

You can search for images on google. Click the images tab above the search bar, them type in what you are looking for, such as: "panda drawing" or something like that...
