Thanks to you and a lot of other folks here on QB for the wonderful array of fabrics. Lots of them came from you (that goose is winking at you!) and lots of others came from boomerang groups and other "side swaps" with QB friends from the US, Canada, Australia, Scotland and England.

Because all of the "donor counties" are English speaking countries, the name will be either "Broken English" or "An Adventure in English". haven't decided yet. "An Adventure in English" is one of my all-time favorite non-fiction books explaining the evolution of the English language. "Broken English" kind of describes the quilt though.

Yes and no ... I can say I spent far more time cutting than sewing this one because there are so many fabrics that quite a few I had to figure out the best way to cut from a cut-into scrap piece. I also did some fussy-cutting with some of the novelty prints to avoid cutting of horses heads and such. It was all chain pieced, so the piecing went fast.

Lovely quilt! I can't quite judge the yellow inner border without seeing a longer view, but it seems as though it's a bit too bright. I vote also for the 5th close-up photo. I think that's definitely the best brown for the quilt, and the brown and gold are great together.
