This quilt is incredible! It is stunning! I love it!
I found that my $350 quilt cost so much because I had found the fabric on eQuilter for $9.50 yd. & just had to try it with a Stack & Whack pattern. .... Order more. Cha ching! Oops, then it's backing time. Then it took intricate long arm quilting & that was very pricey. Next thing I knew the cost was up there. The finished pc. was worth it though. You know I'll never give that one away. The matching pillow topper (not shams) really was a great touch.
Here is a pix of the quilt you're asking about. I've heard that you shouldn't fold a bed quilt back then up over the pillows so this topper works great. The brown fabric on the border is the original fabric used for the medallions. You never know how they're going to turn out although I do try to position the template to get the look I want.

I know there's a lot of variables, but just wondering.
