It was my intention to use a lighter colour for the HSTs around the outside, in order to emphasize the starburst quality of the blue/green pieces on the edge. However these gold/white HSTs look like saltines or matzah from a distance. Tarnation - that wasn't the look I was going for! Never mind, on balance I like it and it looks very summery. It reminds me of looking into a swimming pool.
We don't have a swimming pool, but we do have a bit of a garden - thanks entirely to the efforts of Mr. Pickledish.
Two of my favourites are now in bloom: poppies and lupins.

Love the quilt! It's gorgeous.
I adore Poppies...in any colour, though those pink are tied with the blue for favorites.
your partner is one lucky! Love the starbust!
Beautiful little quilt!! I love your color choices!!
I love the colors! In your block and the garden. Lupins are one of my favorites.
Smashing top, Lesly! It has such movement, the layers fairly dance. Like poppies!
Love the quilt!!! Gorgeous poppies, (read, where could I get some?) and drools for lupines. I long to be able to grow lupines, but alas, I am cursed to kill them.
Blessings,

Love your swap quilt, I agree, it has a summer pool feel to it, which I like!
It wasn't until I saw your pictures of the poppies that it occurred to me that I've never seen poppies in person, up close and personal!! They look so delicate.
Great pictures, as always!
