Very romantic quilt for mom. The pink roses are just lovely. I like the way you fussy cut the centers. Mom surely is going to love it.
Your gate is going to be great! I hope you show us the progress as you go along.

Myself, I sometimes like the odd and whimsical.
I shall post some more gate stuff now named after Wings' suggestion - Gated - Paradise? - the questionmark because all I can guarantee is the gate part although my backyard is my own little slice of paradise.

Gated - Paradise? Episode 2
Firstly, let me confess – this is not a full size gate quilt. I do not want to bite off more than I can chew and I would like to get it finished in the near future, so this gate is small as far as gates go. Finished size will be approx. 18" x 20" – cushion gate?
Finished cutting out the gate with my blade and found all 10 fingers intact. Hard going on the arthritis bumps on the fingers :cry: Won't be doing this again in a hurry!
I decided to only use stash scraps for the watercolour background
so sorted through what I already had in 2" leftovers and cut some more... and cut some more....and after discarding some fabrics already cut.... cut some more. Some patterns that looked suitable in the piece didn't work out after I cut them up. I need to do another watercolour to use up my spares!
Background garden coming along. Every time I walk past I change one or two squares but I must be firm and just stop :!: :!:

Trying to keep little squares in some sort of order as I cut them.
