It was rather difficult to photograph this long panel (it's almost 66 inches x 10 1/5), in the end I pinned it onto my grey timber fence sideways to try and get the whole panel in the photo.
The blocks for the second panel are done too...just need to be trimmed down and sewn together.
Kim's applique blocks are simply wonderful. Like I've said in the past, if you love applique, you will adore her designs with all their beautiful curves and stems and circles.
I am so in love with Keiko Goke's marvellous fabrics. They make my heart sing with their bright and cheery colours and patterns. Making the strippy backgrounds is a lot of work (not all of those stripes are Keiko fabrics), but I am very happy with the effect, it is going to be a hit you in the eye kind of quilt!!
Have you ever made something from Keiko's fabrics? I know Lurline has sewn a few with other fabrics into gorgeous blocks, and I spied some over at Danielle's place too, what a gorgeous stash!!
My Keiko bloggers bom blocks are also sewn up, now I just need to get around to taking pics of those!!

These are so whimsical, like magic flowers! I love your mix of fabrics. You are a master at color and pattern mixing.
Cathy! Your blocks are stunning - your work is so inspirational. I've not yet sourced any Keiko fabrics, I think they'd get on rather well with the rest of my fabric stash.
I am looking forward to seeing your Keiko Bloggers BOM blocks!
