Well, I'm very pleased with the result but during the "creative" phase I didn't felt thrilled whith it because I think the fabric wasn't adecuate. I bougth flowers and then I got fruits (kiwis I think..)!!! Well, I supouse this is the path with OBW quilts you never know what you get at the end...
The finished size is 135 cm x 165 cm (53" x 64") I'm going to use the original fabric as back quilt and I hope you like it.
Happy quilting!
