I'm still looking at this beautiful quilt...LOL! No kidding! Did you do some coloring on the background fabric? You also did a marvelous job of matching up the piecing of the florals. Just gorgeous! (Can you tell, I like art quilts too!)

I love the three-dimensional effect - the black and white vortex in the middle really draws you in!
