The fabric came in the mail today. It's so pretty! Bright colors and bright white.
I have to finish up a couple of things so I can devote my time to working on this exclusively, start to finish.

Oh your fabric is beautiful!!!!! I was at the LQS today but they did not carry this line. I didn't know how much to buy anyways but I'm going to call around to see if anyone around here may have it before I send away for it. I like the rosebud in middle too. I can't wait to follow you as you make this beautiful design of yours.

Beautiful design as always Pam! :-D
In the first version, I found that the large floral was dominating too much, when you made those pieces triangles (although they're now bigger!) they blend much better. And I love the modification of the tulip to a rosebud. A subtle difference but one that makes the whole design cohesive. ;-) The fabric is gorgeous as well!
Now, is it done and on the LA yet? :mrgreen:

I am still undecided about the floral at the corners. When I look at it with it all floral, the diamond shape of the red checked Jacob's Ladders gets a little bit lost, my eye has to seek out that shape. But now that I see the fabric in person and see that it is mostly white background, it may look a lot better with the corners all in that fabric.
Yep, the rosebud is a lot better. See why I need you guys?
It's not on the LA quite yet. :-D I have two quilt tops draped over it but haven't started on one because they deserve better quilting than I can do at the moment. I WANTED to do them but I need to do some others that a simple all-over is fine for.

Great pattern you have created and the fabrics are gorgeous. My own personal preference for the large floral is the triangles. To me the sqaures kind of look out of place. That's just me though, and I know you will end up with a gorgeous quilt.
