Booty is happy today, because I've finished a new quilt!

Well, I say 'new', but I started it aaaages ago. You can actually see part of it hanging on the back of a chair in the photos of my craft room back in London. My plan was to start at the center and work outwards, buying the fabric as I went -- it's all Westminster fabric, most from Liberty and an on-line quilt shop in the UK.

It's very colourful and very bright! It's definitely not everybody's cup of tea, but I do love it. You can get a slightly wider view here. I sort of wish I'd done something a bit more ambitious with the quilting, but you know how these things go -- you get to a certain point and are impatient to just finish already! I was particularly excited to see this in its finished form, since it had spent so long sitting around unfinished. I'm very pleased, indeed.

It's a beautiful quilt. My eye dances across the surface of vibrant colors like a darting dragonfly looking for perfect flower to land upon, never pausing before engaging the next possibility.

Lovely quilt! I think the colors come together quite nicely. I've always been intimidated by using bold color combos for quilts since it's always hard to know how these things will come out in the end.

bold and beautiful!

It's stunning -- fresh and lovely. I particularly like the row of rectangular blocks with the aqua backgrounds. It was so clever of you to put those fabrics together that way.

To my eye, this quilt is a perfect expression of bright fabrics put together with great care and artistic skill.

(I'm envious. Can you tell? )

It's definitely my cup of tea! Love the bright colors and specially the way you put the fabrics together. well done!

Very VERY Kaffe Fassett!
