It's great to hear about the LQS "Pieces, Places and Quilts." When I lived there in Mount Pleasant, I just loved going to both of the stores. They really are great people there. I took a class or two at the shop in Summerville. Tell 'em I said: "Hey!"
Your quilt is wonderful. It the center a panel? I just love the whole quilt. The flowers and such on the borders are fabulous.
