TA DA ! Here is my ‘Scrappy Summer 2015 #1 quilt top ‘Petals’ all completed. I wanted to make a simple quilt that would show off the floral fabrics but still make a statement. I had originally planned for it to be set straight (just to be different) but the quilt demanded to be put on point. What’s a girl to do! It did make for some very long diagonal seams. I love the look of the background grey fabric – it allows the floral fabrics to shine.
Petals (49″ x69″)
Here is my inspiration. The photo is of Kaffe Fasset’s Diagonal Madness quilt. Same but different and definitely not as busy.

Micki, I love your scrappy yet cohesive quilt. The grey totally complements those vibrant colors. You are extremely talented! Take care, Mary.
Lovely! I just had a quilt refuse borders. Sometimes we just have to let those pushy quilts decide what’s best. ;P I love how the grey makes the petals pop!
Beautiful! I really love this, and the grey certainly is an effective background to all your scrappy petal colour!
So pretty!
