Thanks for all your comments..... To answer a couple of your questions, the picture shows the colors a little faded. I was able to pick the colors and while it looks like there are a lot of different ones, the same colors will be carried out throughout the quilt so I'm hoping things will tie in at the end. The original quilt looks like they used a million fabrics.... I have tried to tone it down just a little.
I don't know the cost of the pattern. The LQS owner gave it to me to make the shop sample but her plan is to offer it in the shop and perhaps do a BOM with it. With 23 different blocks and borders she could run this for 2 years. And, there are so many techniques. If you make this quilt, you'll know how to do anything and everything.... machine and hand piecing, applique, paper piecing, templates, matching seams.... and more.
And finally, Yes, I will post the finished quilt when I get it done. You all keep me going..... I need your comments.
