Costa Rica Reflection Quilt

I absolutely Love It !!!! The fabric is perfect.

The only thing I do not like is the white around the photo. Can you crop the photo so there is no white showing?

I can't wait to see more. I am getting very excited after seeing this layout. The trip was awesome and I am sure after seeing this display that the quilt will be awesome too.

Thank you,

Bruce

I am really seeing extreme potential there...........

I just had a thought looking at this with more pictures laying out. Can you do it just like it is? I mean "Leave" the "Leafs" continuous. Just cut holes in the leaf fabric so that the pattern is not interrupted. The border can finish out with the Ocelot. And then the "Tree Frogs" can be random as if the pictures are suspended in a Costa Rica Rain Forest. Can you show me what I am describing? I really would like to see a larger layout with more pictures and maybe the border as I am imagining it. I am really getting excited. Thank You, Bruce

I like the Ocelot strip in the border. The pictures seem a little too hectic. I am thinking maybe keep them horizontal but not in columns or rows. And try a border with Ocelot next to the Rain Forest with a wider Green strip and finish the edge with Ocelot. And maybe put a border or 2 around the pictures? Can you try that for me?

Thank You,
Bruce

All I can say is WOW !!!!! This quilt is so AWESOME !!!!!

What a Valentines present. You truly outdid yourself. I am so impressed at the detail. You know I have seen pictures of fabric and
arrangements on the computer but to actually see it and feel it .......... words are hard to justify my satisfaction in your creation.
I am truly Blown Away.

Thank you so very much. I will be showing and telling everyone about you and your gifted talent. I never even heard of this kind
of work being done anywhere. I just happened to find you and now look what I have. This quilt turned out more awesome than
I ever imagined. Well worth the money for sure. I just sit and stare at it and WOW. Definitely a memory maker. You absolutely
surpassed my imagination. I can't wait to show my buddies.

I have taken some pictures for you to put on your site if you would like. I know you probably do that yourself.

Anyway, thank you so much again. You should feel very proud of yourself. You are a very gifted person and I am delighted to have
crossed paths with you. Good luck and may God be with you.

I have a request to create a twin size "Reflection" Quilt of a Surfing Trip to Costa Rica. Some or all of the tree frogs will be randomly appliqued onto rainforest fabric.

My customer has decided against using this fabric. He prefers the fabric below which I found while Christmas shopping. I did the lay-out just today, Jan. 4, 2008.
