Yes, I quilted it myself. The quilt was basically a stitch in the ditch around the stars and stuff.
I did quilt a couple of the pillows with a meander stitch FMQ

Thsi is gorgeous! You inspired me to do one. Thank you for the info. I can not imagine quilting this. I did a queen size and it was difficult to get all that material under the harp!

I keep coming back to this quilt, It is so nice. How did you ever pick the colors? They are just perfect.

My daughter picked most of the fabrics from my stash in the color family. I kept tossing more fabrics in and then we went out and bought about 6 of them when my LQS had a sale. Her favorite colors were blue and purple and she just loved how the orange jumped out on a couple of the batiks so we added a couple with the oranges to add some pizazz. There are about 28 different fabrics in there.
