just gorgeous, love the fact that blocks are larger, like the border treatment too. How exciting to see one finished.

Ok..here goes...sorry I dont have any other photos...I actually sold the quilt last year cause it just does not fit with my decor! LOL I love working with Asian fabrics but dont really like them to use once finished. I have just started making it again in Shabby Chic fabrics.

I used the Dear Jane software to enlarge the blocks...I actually started the smaller one when I owned a patchwork shop in brisbane (about 4 years ago) but decided bigger blocks would be better for an ongoing class. I work a lot in QAYG so it was done using that method. I used a variety of methods including foundation piecing, aplique, english paper piecing and normal piecing for the blocks...added a sashing and then quilted them.

Not sure what made me do the border! But I love it too.

The finished quilt weighed a ton!

Hope this answers everything everyone asked!
