    I started this in 2006 and it has lain dormant until this spring when I pulled it all out and finished it. I quilted it myself on my Tin Lizzie. The pattern is called "Fractured crystal".

    Thank you on both. A friend in GA saw it and had a wild new colt in her yard and she named the colt Josie which is my granddaughter's name because she loved the quilt and looked up and saw the colt.

    Ooooooh! Beautiful! Saw the original pattern being worked on Simply Quilts - probably about 4 years ago. I've been wanting to do it, but haven't figured out which fabric I want to use. Good job!

    That is absolutely beautiful. I love the fabrics. Large florals are my favorite. Great quilting too. I bet she loves it. Thanks for sharing.
