The Seed Packet quilt is done after 4 1/2 years. I actually started cutting for it in November of 2016. I finished piecing it in July 2017. It is 65" x 82".
This link will take you back to the inspiration quilt in one of Kaffe Fassett's books.
I mentioned yesterday that I went back and added more lines of quilting after the first session on Sunday night. This is one of Philip Jacobs prints on the back of the quilt.
The binding fabric is one of my favorite Kaffe prints. It shades from pink to red in the print. The red version was my favorite and I have several yards of it. I have half yards of some of the other colors too.
This is one of my favorite fabrics in the quilt.
The fabrics are from my vast collection of floral fabrics from way back in the 1990s to the present in addition to the Kaffe and Philip Jacobs prints.
This is one of Kaffe's prints from many years ago.
For my other project: these are the fabrics for the next 2 blocks in the Winged Square. I have misplaced on of the pink triangles so I'll be looking for that today.

Your seed packet quilt is so pretty! Love all those gorgeous florals!
I have misplaced triangles or other small pieces too. Recently I accidentally pieced two instead of one into a block and found it when I went to press the block! Time to rip! I am progressing on my all solids quilt. I am being much more careful with my sewing and have ripped a few times to get those corners to match precisely. I will share when I'm all done. Stay warm today!
I made a quilt of floral kind of like this many years ago. I just love how they turn out. This one is a great snuggle quilt size.
Great theme idea for a quilt!! Smashing color as always!
The seed packet quilt is gorgeous! That has to feel good that it is finally done.
I love it! And perfect o see on a day when we (colorado) are getting snow... Bright hope!
you made good use of those large prints for sure!
Seed Packet is just gorgeous--so rich in color--it's like a tapestry!! Beautiful work...I love the rose prints especially...

Wow, Wanda! You did it again! Another spectacular quilt finished. And you are continuing with the triangles. You certainly make these cold days whiz by in a beautiful wash of colorful creativity! Marnie
Love your seed packet quilt! Great border, too.
Your seed packet quilt turned out beautifully (including those extra lines of quilting). Congrats on bringing an older waiting top to the almost-finished stage! It would be such fun to have this one in my lap to explore the many gorgeous fabrics!
Totally exuberant! This is a quilt that sings out with color and joy! My favorite part is the double border of smaller blocks. I would have to buy so much fabric to make this as I have not collected large florals. I admire your stash and the many beautiful quilts you make from it!
very nice Wanda
Seed Packet quilt has brightened my day in every way. Like a glorious garden all in bloom. Just beautiful Wanda !

The seed packet quilt is wonderful. It's also an inspiration for anyone who has WIP sitting there waiting to be finished. It sometimes takes some time to get to the finish line.
I have loved the seed packet quilt since you first started it and now finished it is spectacular!! Great job! It certainly lives up to your name of 'Exuberant Color'! Love it!
