    Your quilt is totally stunning! I love the colors, the design...all of it! I am not a fan of paper piecing for myself...(too much paper to tear out) but WOW what beautiful results!!!

    Nice work! (Great colors too, LOL )

    Mine is not quilted yet, but here's a pic of the top... I'll post it when I'm done with the quilting. (My daughter is doing one in purples too.)

    I did the freezer paper method so I did not have to remove the paper and the pattern is ready for next time. It was about 80 hours for the whole project but I enjoyed it.It took a while to prepare the freezer paper but I hate ripping off paper. Then I sketched out quilting designs and that took a while too.

    I love your background "leaves"! I'm just getting started on my quilting, but plan on using vines for my background. That's about the only thing I've decided on so far.

    I am looking forward to seeing more quilts. Wendy, I love your blue elephant and I am sure the purple one will be fabulous.
