You did a wonderful job of playing around. It's very pretty.

I think I'm going to try some "curvy" stuff. Other than that I don't have a plan. :shock:

Actually, after that tedious Airplane quilt, this one was a piece of cake. I put this top together in just a matter of days, instead of weeks. And the blocks are all big, 8" square finished. I did that so I could make the little girl's quilts on a smaller scale and still be able to piece them, and make them look sort of like their mom's quilt.

I also like the smaller blankets for the daghters. What a good idea.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, it is green, a very dark swirled green. The center background color and the outside color on the border is purple, but it doesn't really look purple on my computer.

Of course, I took the bad pics with my cell phone, so it is amazing that you can see any of it!

What a beautiful quilt. I especially love the flower fabric. Where did you find that, what is it called?

"Fuchsia" or "Fuchsia II" line from Maywood Studios. I found several different colors on ebay. Some of the online QS have it also, you can do a google search for "Fuchsia quilt fabric" and quite a few come up.
