Never mind, the quilt top is assembled! I made it larger than the pattern calls for, so that it can be a proper bed-sized quilt. At 84 x72", it's the biggest quilt I've made yet and I'm a bit nervous about how I'm going to quilt it. I'll worry about that tomorrow!
I really love it. The colours aren't precisely spring-like, but I don't care. The reds, blacks, golds and creams are spectacular in this fabric line. I'm so glad I made it! And if you're seeing it for the first time and wanting to make it yourself, it's a pattern in the February 2010 issue of the Fons and Porter quilting mag.
And now to add this to the list at Amy's Sew-n-Tell; why not go over there are see what amazing things people have finished up this week!

Just beautiful! I love this pattern and might have to give it a go. You're right about the rich colors.

That is an awesome quilt. Love the colors.
Outstanding! It has a lovely vintage feel to it!
What a beautiful quilt!
I hope your stiff neck is better by now?
That's so lovely! The colors are so rich and elegant, and I love the scrappy feel of it. Imagine how awesome it will be to pull this out next fall to cuddle up under!
Man, that was fast! It looks great. A note on the quilting, whatever you do won't be that noticeable because of the busyness of the fabrics and constantly moving pattern. In other words, don't stress too much.
It is beautiful! Here's a pat on the back for a job well done.
It is gorgeous! Sorry about your neck.-)
Ouch on yoru neck but that quilt is GORGEOUS! love the name and the colors!
Wow that is truly beautiful. Nice job!
Just a downright, beautiful, happy, colorful, pretty, elegant quilt! Congratulations on such a fabulous finish!
Before you do to sleep next time (not in your chair, silly!), let your last thoughts be of the quilt and ask it to show you how it wants to be quilted. Little weird, I know, but that's how I do it!
