I can only hope mine comes out as well as yours. Great job!

That backing green really is great, I actually got that at Wal-Mart. The border and binding fabrics came from the LQS, but I couldn't find enough of a fabric for the backing there that I liked. So I went to WM and found that lime green/chartreous color fabric for the backing and really like it. Lime green is my daughter's favorite color, so of course she approved as well. :)

I agree with redquilter... this is a very happy quilt!!

I have to ask, when you were using the layer cake, did you have any problem with the bias? Looking at your border, it's perfect, unlike mine which came out looking like the sea..(waves)

You have a great eye for color combinations! The greens and pinks with the chocolate brown accent are stunning!
