OMG.
I have a collection of blues that I sort of had a Delft feeling for, with no particular pattern in mind,
and I am going to keep your quilt in mind when i make up my blue quilt.
VERY NICE.

No - not handstitched ---- those are a decorative stitch on my sewing machine. It was not easy to move from petal to petal to stitch it....it really wore me out to quilt this one by machine. I thought about hand quilting it, but was ready to finish it up and move on to other projects. Besides --- I broke GFG tradition by using just 2 colors so I didn't want to do the traditional stitch in the ditch either.

Very pretty. My favorite colors are blue & white. This is the first one I have seen in just 2 colors.

I love it. I'm doing a grandmother's garden quilt with pink and blue elephants in the flowers with batiks as the background. I REALLY hope it doesn't take 7 months. I'm doing paper piecing to get it together and it's going very quickly so far. I don't think I would do it if I weren't paper piecing.

I'll post when I'm done.
