At first, I was nervous to work with this fabric because it was very different from the fabrics I tended to pick. It wasn't that I didn't like it, but I just wasn't thrilled...however, the fabric definitely grew on me and I am very happy with the end result! I think that the vibrant spectrum of colours with the crisp white worked really well.

| Detail on Front |
I was originally planning in quilting straight lines all the way down the quilt but then I decided last minute to try something more exciting and new to me. I decided to follow the outlines of each of the shapes and down three sets of outlines for each. In retrospect, I should have done this type of quilting on a smaller quilt (this was a double bed size approx). The large quilt was very difficult to rotate in the machine and I got it stuck under the arm a few times. I loved how the quilting turned out and am hoping it try out a similar style on a baby quilt. Also, there were a few areas that has large unquilted areas because there were no colours shapes there so I just freehanded some interesting shapes, which I think gives a neat effect.

The back is one-third like the front and two-thirds a printed fabric with birds (I forget the name right now...).
