Thanks ahead of time for your response. I'm always curious about things....
    leighway, as far as I am aware I did not use any fabric from Kaffe Fassett, I just googled and I get why you thought that I may have, some of those fabrics I saw when I googled were similar to the fabrics I have used.

    I conclude that you are as crafty a photographer as you are a quilter. Notice the shadow of whatever building perfectly coincides with the top of the quilt in the second photo. The fall landscape in the background is georgeous! I miss that so much. Here we only get the hot sunshine until monsoons and then it's rain, rain and more rain.
    Thank you, I had to go back and look at the photo I posted to see what you meant! The fall landscape has been absolutely stunning here and certainly one thing that amazes me. However, you would probably hate the winters here!!

    I am absolutely amazed at all the kind words I have received from posting pics of my quilt. What a bunch of lovely people you all are, you are very encouraging. For those that it has inspired to make a string quilt I look forward to seeing them. This is a very fun quilt to make and I really did not think about what fabric I was using, if it was the right size I used it!

    Thanks again, happy sewing!
