I have to tell you that Bargello quilts are not my favorite, but yours is the most beautiful I've seen! The floral fabrics really make this quilt.

It's much gentler than regular bargellos in the brights that most use (although I love those too!)and the effect is restful but also moving. |Didn't explain that very well! Anyway, I LOVE it! :-D

Thanks k3n! When I posted the color choices weeks ago, several thought there wasn't enough contrast to make it move, but whenever I added darker florals, I lost the spring/summer feel I wanted. So, I stuck to the original plan--well, the one that changed 10 times--and couldn't be happier. See: :-D :-D :-D :-D

Kayak on the Lake--I haven't looked at that one in a bit. My daughter claimed it and is moving into her own apartment next month--so that's where it'll be going.

Thank you. I think florals make every quilt, or batiks, or fall colors. :lol: I want to try the floral thing with some other patterns, I just need 30 hours in a day--like everyone else. I do have a week off coming.....
