My batik Turning Twenty
 

I recently bought a batik collection from Connecting Threads and was very happy with them. I made this Turning Twenty for a friend's daughter who got married in Sept. Their favorite colors are purple & orange. I couldn't face the thought of just those colors for a quilt that will hopefully be around and a favorite for a long time. So, I talked to the bride's mom & sister and gave them several options and they thought this one would be a good match. It was bright, and had both oranges and purples in it, and the couple loved it! I quilted it myself on my little home machine. In the large squares I put a different flower (fmq'd) and then just SID around all of the rest. I'm attaching my favorite one- the sunflower. I looked at a picture and then did my own thing. Pretty much what I did with all of the rest- daisy, tulips, etc. It was a lot of fun. I did get one flower upside down, but we'll just make that an "eye spy". :-)

Beautiful quilt!

Very beautiful quilt. I love those colors. I bought their Fall and Winter batik collections and they are so beautiful. I have not
made up my mind on a pattern yet.

Love it! Batiks are so pretty - from your neighbor 50 miles to the east - Lebanon MO

Very nice!!!

Very pretty. How much did you get from each color? BrendaK

nice colours and nice quilting

I bought the fat quarter collection- but in that package I found 3 extra pcs of the fabric folded. They were stacked/folded in with the fat qtrs. Nice little bonus.:-)

What a lovely quilt!

Very pretty quilt, and great color combinations! You managed to get several shades of their color choices, and they all balanced well.

Beautiful bright quilt. Great colors.

Very pretty. I love the bright colors.

I love you you chose a patten that lets the fabric speak for itself. The colors are so vibrant!

Beautiful! Great FMQing!

I love all those colors.

Those colors are going to light up any room that she has! What a fun project and great gift!

Wonderful. I love the sunflower quilting.

A few years ago, my daughter was going on a High School choir trip from MN to FL via bus. She wanted me to make her a quilt to snuggle with on he bus. I only had 2 weeks to get it done. So I picked outthe Turning Twenty pattern and she picked out the batik fabrics. It was fun and quick to make and she loves it. When I looked at this picture, I felt like I was looking at her quilt. They are so much alike! So--I love your quilt!

Wow! How sweet!!:-)

Beautiful work, love you quilting.
this quilt just pops with color.

Don't know if I should admit this, but here it goes! After studying your quilt I finally understand the layout for the Turning Twenty. I have always admired them and now I understand them. Maybe there is hope for me.. Lovely quilt.
