Very very pretty-the fabrics are tremendous.
The quilter did a great job also.
I have made Turning Twenty several times and it looks different every time. Very versatile pattern.

I love everything about this quilt: the fabric, label, pattern, the quilting...! I have a question - did you use batting? I've made a few baby quilts with Minkee backing and have left out the batting. Also, did your Long Arm Quilter complain about the stretchiness of the Minkee backing? I've quilted my own, instead of sending them out...so, I've only complained to myself ; )

She mention that Minkee is a really stretchy fabric but never complained about it.
Once when I took a top to her she had a quilt on her machine, queen size...and BOTH the top and bottom were Minkee!! All we both talked about was how beatiful the quilt was, it was pieced (large blocks) Simple gorgeous!
but no complaints.
