Default Dereck Lockwood's Celestial Garden in Oranges Finished

I posted this as a flimsy under Bold, Bright, and Busy. It has now been hand quilted and bound--so ta da, I present the finished quilt laying on the floor.

Shows the paper piecing and part of the center star.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]438309[/ATTACH]This shows the corner of the whole center and more of the lovely feathers that were quilted by the Amish lady. I really like Shadow Play. It shows such depth of color without having too much contrast, lights and mediums and darks which is what I used for the backgrounds of the paper pieced blocks and the border..

The design wall is full of quilt projects that have a time frame so can't be taken down now so this is the best photo I could get of the whole quilt. I hope you are all looking forward to a wonderful fall weekend and happy quilting!
