Beautiful color choices... I love the result too! It would look awesome in my guest bedroom :-)

That "turned" out gorgeous!

Is that all from one fabric line? Reminds me of some Marcus Brothers fabric I picked up a while back.

Very pretty. And it's reversible, 2 for 1!! A quilting friend of mine makes tons of Turning Twenty's.

Thanks! The off white and the coordinating beige one were just random. The other 3 were coordinating- don't remember the names. All of the various aquas were just fat qtrs. I had that I thought broke it up nicely.

Thank you! I have to admit- I sent it to a LA to be quilted. I thought it turned out very well, too. It's QS and she only charged me $50! And that included a $5 charge for the thread. I did the binding myself. She has been in business for 30+ years, offers about 9 different stitch patterns. I have to tell you she is one very accomodating lady. I called on a Monday morning right before bad weather was to hit us. I asked her (even telling her I wasn't expecting it) if she thought there was any way I could have it by Friday? I know- call me crazy. She said she thought she could get it done for me if I got it to her before bad weather hit. Can you believe this?! She called me Wed. morning and said it was done! Yippee!! She gets all of my business! She did anyway- but now she really does and I send all my friends to her. :)

I love the colors too, great mix and using your stash! Good for you. Thanks for sharing the photos and the quilter info. Have you ever done your own machine quilting?
