I hope you dont mind, I cropped your image so we see more quilt and less background...

Beautiful job, Bravo! You must be a natural ... Maybe you will join in with a mystery quilt or the BOM next year ...
(If there is one.)

Im guessing you used a Polyester wadding ??? as you've got a lovely high loft going on there ... How big are the squares?

Thank you Imi. My local shop only had polyester wadding and I knew my daughter would appreciate it as it's light. I've bought some cotton wadding now though to try in my next project  :) My squares were cut at 4.5 inches, so made 4 inch on completion.
Creativity is contagious, pass it on
