Beautiful quilt. It looks so elegant with your fabric choices. Thank you so much for sharing your great work.

Gee this turned out pretty! So worth your while to spend the time on it. What is the name of that block? I just realized it is a post from two thousand twelve. How funny!

Marian, Your quilt inspired me to do my own. It took me awhile, especially since I had to plot out the Toille directionally (not my strong suit evidently!), but here's a picture of the flimsy.

I'm another that got inspired by this to make one like it. I just finished the floppy last weekend, and my husband announced this one is a "keeper" it's only the second quilt of all I've made that he's claimed.

I also fussy cut the toile so the larger squares all have full scenes, and I didn't cut off anyone's head. I didn't for the rest, but did pull out a few from the smaller cuts. My fabric has one scene with a horse and sleigh, and I ended up with about 5 pieces that aren't much else but the horse's tail end.

I love it. Very effective.
