YOU should be so proud! Juxtaposition of fabrics, begging the looker to reach out and feel, crinkly-wrinkly from the quilting, ...love at first sight. Scenes like that on your coach are why I could never give up this artfrom.

Your quilt is lovely, Andi. I like the way you used some solid (linen?) in the layout. And the handquilting is beautiful too, that's a big quilt to do by hand!!
Your quilt make me want to buy some Wonderland fabric...

Can't thank you enough for that inspiration!! I have had a multi pack of Amy Butler sample strips - each strip is 4.5 inches wide - sitting on the shelf for ages. I used a few in coin quilts for babies, but really a project with squares is the best option. It's already underway...

I love the picture with it partially folded on the end of the couch. But with it spread out, you get to see more of the patchwork yumminess.
