    This is gorgeous! Like everyone else, I'm particularly fond of the grey gradient in the background! It adds just a bit of interest without taking the attention away from the gorgeous stars. Beautiful work!

When I first saw the pics at Art Gallery website , I was totally in love. When I recieved the fabrics they looked awesome in person and then finally when I started making my quilts. I am truly amazing to see how versatile Avant Garde fabrics are. These two are my most favorite blocks, the Panda is loaned from my 4 year old son ;).
