Default Koi Quilt Top

This is my latest quilt top. I decided to take it slowly and not rush it. I've been doing this top for about 4 months in between all the other handicrafts I do. My husband bought the centre as a piece of scrap material. There was not enough regular pattern to cut it into pieces. A friend suggested I frame it. I found some discontinued charm packs and jellyrolls (Moda Enchanted Pond) that matched and got the idea for the pattern from Missouri Quilt. Not my usual colours but I think they tone in ok.[ATTACH=CONFIG]461808[/ATTACH]

Looks like a little pond in the middle of a garden. Love it. Your colors match perfectly!

Hi, thanks for the comments. The fabrics are discontinued now, and once I'd decided on them it was difficult to source some more. I'm making the quilt king sized and backing it with a king sized sheet. any other ideas, please?
