Love it! My only suggestion is to use a darker purple to make it really pop the turquoise, aquas and blues! Luann

I assume this is paper pieced, it still will be a lot of cutting and sewing, but it will be worth it, stunning!!!!!!

I really like aqua/turquoise/blues and that looks nice with purple so....

I expect it's going to take a long time to make this. On a longarm message board one of the LA'ers posted that a customer wanted someone to make this quilt for them. Many people replied that they either wouldn't do it for someone else or that they'd charge like $3k for it.

Pam, That is quite the challenging quilt from just fabric selection! I'm sure that it will be beautiful finished. This will take quite a while, I'm sure. Good luck!
