This is where I got the pattern from. I didn't buy their kit though. I searched many web sites for material after I went to as many fabric stores as I could get to. I was able to get the "In The Beginning" fabric from Happy Apple Quilts. I purchased the greens and backing at Wal Mart.
Today I'll be pinning the top, W&N batting and backing together. Then I can get started at machine top stitching. I think that will take me longer than making the quilt itself.
I started cutting this out on June 17th and had the top finished by July 5th.
Have fun with it. It's a great pattern. My mom got me started with quilting in January of this year. So I am quite new to all of this yet.

I had 3 different kinds of batting here. I made a sample of the quilt pattern out of some scraps I had. So I used the sample and did a square in the poly batting. This gave the trellis poof but, it swallowed up the flowers. They became like cups. I tried doubling the W&N like someone had suggested. Again it was too puffy for the trellis. I had a blanket that I used in another lap quilt. The blanket even though it was washed wouldn't lay flat enough so I scrapped that idea. One layer of W&N and it worked out great. Like quite a few suggested the trellis gives it dimension all on it's own. The "POOF" took away the flowers.
