The black background in the one linked to above is very dramatic though. I may try it again at some later date. In the meantime, I keep working slowly but surely away at this undesirable UFO jewel box. I carry the scraps in a zip lock back and hand piece a little here and a little there.
I think your quilt is beautiful and any little girl would love it. I know, it's not dramatic like the one with black is, but it is still very beautiful. Just finish it up and give it away to some little girl and the little girl will think that she is loved by someone.
