The bulk of the fabrics are from the "Rouenneries" line by French General, and I supplemented them with others that fit with them.

I started this quilt back in September 2010 on a business trip to India. In the evenings and weekends I sat in my hotel room, busily cutting and fusing shapes for the blocks. Glad to finally have this one completed!
Eddie,
I just saw this quilt in a Little quilt shop in Marine City, MI over the weekend and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The book was there also. Yours is just a beautiful!
