Thanks all for kind thoughts and words of wisdom. I just made up the pattern and am not even sure what quilt category it would fall into. I am quilt-pattern challenged and have problems visualizing the design so I usually just make it up as I go along unless I can find a Jenny Doan U-Tube :)
Fabric is Timeless treasures Plume series. It is cotton and is such beautiful fabric, it's a pleasure to work with. They also make Tonga Treats.
As far as costly appreciating it. Maybe in another 10 years!!!!

Love it!!! I am going to copy your design.

That is beautiful!!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the colors.

Am a newbie, but was an artist for years, and appreciate beautiful colors, this is gorgeous!!!

I might try a deep royal purple or even black. It may also depend on the backing.

WOW, that is one fabulously gorgeous quilt. The colours are stunning !!! She is going to be one lucky gal to be gifted this fantastic quilt.

The colors are tremendous! I agree with the variegated thread!

As a rule, if you don't want stitching to show, use a shade darker than the fabric. For some reason, lighter thread tends to jump off the surface of the fabric, while darker shades hide in the shadows...
