i love it and orange is my favorite color.
i love it and orange s my favorite color. you did good.
It's not finished but I wanted to share. Maybe get an opinion or two. 
I cut out the quilt - thinking if I liked it I would add to it and make it bigger. Well, I cut it out wrong and I'm not sure how hard it will be to follow the pattern now and make it bigger.
I have plenty of fabric and I am seriously considering completely starting over and just using this as a lap size quilt - probably as a gift.
Would you start over or try to enlarge this one?

It's going to be beautiful....I think your 5 fabrics work perfectly. As much as I am totally into colour saturation/scrappy, I think in this case 5 is better than 12. Please show us when it has "grown" to it's full potential.

I absolutely adore your quilt! Yellow is my favourite colour and that particular shade is what I really, really like. I also happen to love batiks as well! Beautiful colour selection. I think that if it is possible to enlarge it, then that would be nice but it is lovely as it is too. It depends on how much time you want to spend on it and what you want to use it for. I am interested in what you decide to do next and I am looking forward to you showing us what you have decided to do. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes.

I finally got some time to get back to my quilt this morning. I do not have enough of the yellow color to make it king size. I have enough for a few blocks, so I will add on to it ; add a black border and hopefully the piano key border. I've been searching online for the fabric and have not found it and can not remember the manufacturer. My brain is tired of looking.
I appreciate all the lovely comments and help. I'll post a photo of the top after it is done.
Happy Friday!
