It has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it and was longarm quilted by Robin Diaz.
I used a lot of 16 patch blocks from the orphan block box as the border around the center.
I used a full width of the turquoise/brown print and a strip of stripe fabric leftover from another backing for the back of this quilt.
It is 63" x 70".
Here is a closer look at the batik backing fabrics and the batik binding.
I hang it sideways on the double design wall for its photo and then rotate the photos for my blog.
I had company yesterday and they picked a bouquet of Lily of the Valley and a few Violets. The Lily of the Valley is a touch beyond its prime but still fragrant and nice in this little vase.
Last evening just before sundown there was a brief shower and then this rainbow over my neighbor's house. The sun was shining across the treetops and looked like the golden hour and the sky above the rainbow was dark, just as it appears here.
This end of the rainbow was so intense you could see each band of color clearly. I couldn't capture the intensity with my cellphone camera.

Wow, what a wonderful rainbow (looks like a very faint second rainbow on top) to see! With the sun shining on the trees, it is so beautiful. Nice of your visitor to pick some flowers for you…they look lovely 😊
Nice capture of that rainbow, Wanda;)))
Lovely finish on your quilt--I like that brown batik backing, too..
62 here and a partly cloudy day...What pretty lilies of the valley in that vase...hugs, Julierose
Another beautiful finish -- and a beautiful rainbow, too!
I see a lovely autumn glow to your ‘First finish’ for May. A very nice size also. Lilly of the valley and violet bouquet ❣️ plus a rainbow too.
Thats a fun finish!!!
Rainbows are SO hard to photograph but totally magical in real life. Love that little red pitcher in the windowsill. And hooray for a finish!
Lots of color in your day, quilt, flowers, and a rainbow.
I love Lily of the Valley and I do have them but this year there was so much other growth that I almost missed them from taller things around them
The Double 4 Patch is wonderful! I will have to check to see if my Lily of the Valley has bloomed yet. I haven't had time since I got home to check on what is going on in the backyard. The rainbow is so cool!
Wow, that's a spectacular rainbow! I don't think I've ever seen one so vivid. I love the double 4-patch too!
