They're on the design wall right now, and I'm playing with layouts. I'm going with the standard 4x4 layout with a border - I just need to decide how to arrange the flowers. I'm thinking the lower layout at this stage - but I think I'll keep playing with it over the next few days until I'm completely happy.
My design wall isn't well lit, so these photos really don't do the fabric justice - this is my absolute all time favourite collection ever. Anna Maria Horner is a genius with colour. I'm not convinced this quilt was the best way to use some of the prints (they'd be better used less cut up) but I do have more of each print, so there will be another Good Folks quilt on the horizon when I decide what to do with it. Regardless, I'm completely besotted now I've pieced all the flowers.
I've given myself a deadline for this one - I'd like to get it finished for the Blogger's Quilt Festival in May (so roughly four weeks). It's not going to be huge (60" x 60") so I think I should manage it!

Jess, I am always amazed at all you have going on! Can't wait to see what is on your blog page next.
These are so very pretty!
Gorgeous! I agree about using larger cuts - I love AMH but I'm finding that w/ a lot of her fabrics. Good goal, too :) You're giving me the kick in the butt I need to finish things for the BQF!
This is so gorgeous! Love the curves but have never done them
This is going to be beautiful as we have come to expect from you Jess. Can I suggest you move one of the dark pink flowers- in the third column? I think they are a little close together. Of course you can tell me to mind my own business!!
hooray!!!! It's SO beautiful :-D
It is beautiful! A good thing ou took it out again!
AMH is a complete and utter genius!! Your Retro flowers are stunning - so glad you got them out again :)
I agree with the second layout. It looks fabulous!
Very good! I look at things for days too. Even take pictures so I can drag them around and look at them on my phone when I have down time. Funny the things you see when you walk away for a bit and come back to it.
I love your version of this quilt! I have one on deck myself. I would love to finish it for BQF, too, but we'll see how that goes. Good luck!
Oh, they are so pretty in these fabrics!
This is gorgeous!! This is definitely my favorite collection as well. She is one of my favorite designers!
Gorgeous! I have one of these on my someday list :)
Yay for getting the blocks done. Have fun with the arranging (1:30 am worked well for me as a timeframe ;o) )
It looks fantastic Jess
I agree with the bottom choice. Beautiful beautiful. Have you seen the field study linens? *feels faint*
Beautiful! I really like the bottom layout as I think the warm/cool alternating blocks stand out more.
This is super fun! It's like looking through windows to a bright and wonderful garden! Unfortunately today in Minnesota we are having a blizzard (literally, and no that is not normal for this time of year) and I can use any glimpse of summer I can get :-)
It looks great! Love those flowers.
Just gorgeous. I love it. Can't wait to see it quilted
