I think there are only two places where the same floral fabrics touch each other. The lights do often. There are at least 51 different florals and 15 light fabrics. It's about 72" square now. It went together amazingly nicely. A few glitches, but I was pleased overall.



Close ups of some of the fabrics.
Hey! Where'd that wrinkle come from?? :roll:


The center. I went light there--darker as I went out, but it's not consistent.


I'm particularly proud of the back--99% of the seams all lay the right direction. :wink: Looks like stained glass with the sun behind it.


To border or not hasn't been decided. I have three possibilities.
They lay to the right. The top one is too animated for me. The middle looks good, but it's all one flower, but that might be a good thing. But--it's too small. The bottom is the best option--flowers are the right size, but it seems a tad light.


Here's a closer look at the bottom one.


This is another option--but it's not quite right either--background is too dark.


I think I'll head to Patchwork Plus--the store with 8000 bolts--the exact right one must be there.

Thanks for looking! :D

OH! The pattern is log cabin--with the light strips cut 1" and the florals 1.5". The floral idea was inspired by looking at others' quilts and my gardens. I can't send you anywhere to get the pattern.
