This pink Heather Ross fabric started it! I wanted to show it off in a star block. then I got a little scrappy....... and made more scrappy stars.......... and thought I'd throw in some applique flower blocks. But................................................

I just couldn't resist this caterpillar!

The applique blocks are from a book by Kim Schaefer called Flower Festival. I can't wait to use it again, it has a great spider block and also a bumble bee! Too cute!

I love the look of bright and scrappy fabrics on a white background. Definitely not the last time I'll be playing with such cheerful fabrics. My quilty friends insisted I enter this quilt in the state fair. I said 'no' then reluctantly 'ok', and it won THIRD PLACE plus a Finishing Touch award!! Go figure.
