I love the bold bright colors. To me they are very young/modern, but also comfy and inviting.
I chose the fabrics by finding 6 bold solids and then a matching pattern fabric for each color that was roughly the same color but had leaves, swirls, stripes, etc for a little extra texture.

The quilting was done with a basic Brother sewing machine on a Gracie quilting frame. I printed the design on a sheet of paper then traced it over and over again lengthwise on some clear plastic (used to insulate windows) to make my own pantograph.
Wow I am totally impressed, so is your Basic Brother Machine one that you use to piece your quilt as well and then place it on the frame when you are ready to Long arm it? Where did you get your frame? Great job on the quilting by the way. I am considering buying a frame.
