    It reminds me of looking down onto my grandma's flowerbed from the upstairs bedroom window. What a great job you did. The border of the small flowers is such a good idea. It's obvious that you understand "quilt speak".

    I can not wait to see your quilt ! Did you use those hard plastic templates that you sew together and pop out of fabric??

    I love the boldness of the quilt. It must have had a very forceful voice. It reminds me of something from the "flower power" era. I just started cutting hexagons for a new quilt. I found a site for free on-line graph paper so I planned the design but not the colors. I want to use up some of my reproduction stash. Wish me luck, it will be hand pieced (I'll be doing the English paper piecing). I know it will take years. I work for a while get bored and put it in a box so it will be a UFO for a while before it gets finished!!!

    Gorgeous quilt! Be sure to let everyone know you are multi-lingual...quiltspeack is a very important language and you understand it very well!

    Guess you could also have named the quilt "Tribute to Flower", its sad how they let us get to know all of those delightful characters and then they have to pass away. Its almost like loosing 1 of my own pets!

    my first thought was "WOW" the flowers really pop with the black and white you choose. It is an awesome job. The more I looked at the more I love it, it is beautiful. great job!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :XD:

    Wow, using the black was inspired! It really sets off the other beautiful colors in your quilt. It reminds me of those beautiful paperweights with the mille fleur design in the glass. Well done!

    This is a stunning quilt! I love the black because it makes the flowers pop. I love the way you did the border as well.

    I think your intuition is an artist creating mind. I know artist who will say the painting took over and knew what needed to be done. Awesome work.
