Love your quilt. Its very bright and happy. Wasn't the shop hop fun this year? I had a great time and gathered many ideas. Welcome to quilting, you are going to do great.

I hadn't thought about it at first but, maybe a lil poly fill wont hurt. The petal clusters will all be appliquéd on the quilt at my next step then... Its off to find the perfect fill, binding and backing. Think I want to tie this ine though with old fashioned yarn. Thanks for your suggestions as it renewed interest in the The Art of the crative process.

Thank you for your cordial welcome. I've never met such a group of diversely talented hobbyists / artists in a fabric shop before. What a joy!

MODA came out with "garden party" design and I chose to use fabric only from the shop hop along with their store stash. Since this years theme was CO wildflowers, I thought, how fitting!

This is amazing for a first quilt and a great design at any point in one's quilting career.
