Turned out to be a bit busy for my taste too!

well I like the colors too and I like YOUR pattern better. I am always afraid that I will love the quilt in a kit so much and I won't have enough fabric and I can't find the fabric anymore to suppliment it. At least you took the situation and not only met it but exceeded it!!!!! You are a creative person for sure!
