BIG Prints #2 - Garden By Moonlight

Garden By Moonlight
60 x 75
It's a flimsy!

I've been trying to use some of the BIG prints that have been lingering in the stash for awhile.  This is the second in the series using the Double Sawtooth block at Quilter's Cache- perfect for BIG prints with the 9.5 inch center square. For this one I picked out all the BIG print florals with a dark background. 


I was thinking of a moonlight stroll through a lovely cottage garden while I was making this.

I used more dark BIG prints to piece a backing.



 Now on to the next BIG print...chickens, ballerinas, light florals or patriotic text???? Hmmmm...

Fabulous. You have showcased some beautiful and dramatic florals. The backing is a great use of those floral leftovers. Can’t wait to see which group of fabrics you choose for the next flimsy.

Those big red flowers yell, "Hey, look at me!" All of the fabrics are really pretty.

I definitely have the big floral fabrics to do one of these, but I'n not sure about all those half square triangles. This is gorgeous and makes me want to pull out the florals and do something with them.

Love the story of your fabric choices that went into the making!

There are a couple of places where this quilt plays a trick and those big red flowers (poppies?) look as if they are literally growing out of the background. I had to look twice.
