The piecing of the border combined with the gorgeous center and of course my favorite part, the appliqued cornflowers just kept me working until I thought my head would fall off my shoulders!!! I fell in love with the colors as I just love purples and greens. I am going to put it in my guest bedroom. All I have left to do is make some pillow cases and pillow shams. How do you all like it??

Also, I would love some ideas as to how I should make the pillow shams. Maybe make them in white and applique the cornflowers on them?? I'd love some feedback!!

You must use a frame to hold the weight of the quilt while appliqueing? I was just wondering since I've never done a full sized quilt with applique. I just usually do machine applique on baby quilts.

Again, this is gorgeous!
