Default Lady Guinevere's quilt

I made the nine blocks for this about a year ago (maybe longer, as time flies when you're a quilter...) and I ran out of the ivory background fabric. I put the blocks away. Two months ago, at a local quilt exhibit, I bought the fabric that is shown on the corners of this quilt. There is a close up photo of this luscious fabric that made me say goodbye to reason and goodbye to the fabric diet......

This Tuesday night, while sifting through some patterns and getting an idea from one of them, the concept for this quilt with my nine blocks came together. It looks so regal, doesn't it?

Looks incredible! I love how you've set it on point with the tapestry/border print on the corners.

That is beautiful and goes well with your blocks. Who is the maker of that fabric?

Thank you everyone. The fabric is imported from Holland. It is called a Java batik. I have spent time looking online for it, with no luck. The vendor who sold it is Fabritique, in Massachusetts. I think her tag line is "beautiful fabrics from faraway places" or something similar.
