Are they the colors you love? Fuchsia, Purples, Rich Blues, Emerald Greens.... jewel tones... Yes! Is it over-the-top? OH YEAH!
The quilt will go off to Chris for quilting next week, and it will be at least a month before it comes back for finishing, so I decided it's time for a few sneak peeks.
Julie knows only she is getting a quilt with letters in these colors. She knows what words the letters make, but that's it. I don't want her to see the completed quilt until she lifts it out of the box after I send it to her.
Here are a few more hints... In addition to letters, Julie asked for butterflies and asterisks. She'll be getting plenty of those, along with a couple of other surprises for Julie to discover. The quilt will be a wall hanging, and it will be about 38" by 78". I've already told Julie where the quilt will hang when it gets to her house.**Yes, I know the name panel is a little off center. The backing needs to be 6" bigger on all four sides of the quilt, and I'm not quite done adding it.
