"This quilt is truly a labor of love for me to create.

I am a passionate collector of floral fabrics.

I love the way many floral fabrics blend together

and the way they create lost and found edges

around shapes of blocks.

 I designed the layout in EQ using a gray scale

to show values.

Once I chose the large floral focus fabrics,

I pulled over 100 different fabrics from 

my stash for the quilt.

 I pieced each block one at a time, 

coordinating the fabrics for that specific block as I went.

 This was the first King sized quilt that I machine quilted.

The machine quilting took 80 hours to complete.
