I've made over a dozen of them, and helped friends pick out fabric for even more. It's a fabulous pattern. Tons of piecing, but you learn a lot. The fabric is really the star in a quilt like this, and the ability to blend them from one to the next.
Yes--that's just what I was going to say. gaigai just did her Lilacs with this pattern. I can't wait to make one.

Yes, the more I look at it, the more I see. I sure do appreciate the amount of work that she put into it. I can't wait to get it finished. I am not too crazy about the outside part, but the rest of it is lovely. She did a wonderful job picking the fabrics. And it all goes so well together.

The top is very pretty! Not so sure about the back but for Free your so Lucky 8-)

It will be easy for the next 2 months, since we are still on the air mattress. I think I will leave it on the bed for a while with some Febreeze on it. It smells stale, not musty, just stale from being in a bag. And I don't know how long it has been riding in my friend's trunk. As long as the gate is still up, it is safe.

I agree, itis a little dull, but I guess it makes a good accent for the top. The border is the same fabric. At least I don't have to buy any fabric for it.
