Wow I can see why this one is a keeper....awesome.

That is awesome..

Bet it was fun and rewarding to see your vision turn into a gorgeous reality. As others have stated, just stunning and my kind of controlled scrappy. I don't think I have the batik scraps or the patience to try it though. Kuddos to you!

Honestly, I was impressed with the first picture, thinking that it showed QID throughout the quilt. Then I saw the quilting pattern that actually used. What a fantastic quilt: colors, quilting, border. Just lovely.

What a beauty! I'm in awe of your superior skill-- WOW.

I love your quilt like you say it is a Keeper! Your explanation for how you decided to place your fabrics was really great I will have to remember that. Thank you so much for sharing your quilt.

Just beautiful! Love the colors.

It is simply gorgeous! Love love love the way you arranged your fabric and colors. And the quilting! Superb. I love this quilt!

Awesome...what is size of center sq? each block somewhere 9-9 1/2"? What made you decide on making those thin strips, rather than say starting with 2" strips?

Ditto to all the comments and more!
