That's lovely, it's like windows framing the view beyond. Very pretty.  :)

That's a trip down memory lane.  I used to love the Flower Fairy A to Z
I can still recite the Z is for Zinnia verse  :)

Z is for zinnia, pink and red
See them in the flower bed
Copper, orange, all aglow
Making such a stately show
I, their fairy say goodbye
For the last of all am I
Now the alphabet is said
All the way from A to Z

There you go @FloBear

I am another one who remembers the lovely Flower Fairies, they are timeless really and so pretty.  Stitches well done on making such a beautiful quilt, I am sure your recipient will be delighted to receive this.

Somewhere I have the Christmas Fairy which was made into a little wall hanging by my sister, and of curse this comes out each Christmas.

@Stitches  there are two different quilts there - or is it one double sided quilt.
They are both lovely but I prefer the second one.
