Simplify, simplify, simplify!"
(Henry David Thoreau)
I've always been a simple quilter. I like the order of straight lines. I also like to show off the beauty of fabric.
I fell in love with the focal fabric and pulled out the colors that surrounded the paisley print.
A lot of my machine quilting is done with my walking foot. I find I can manage my quilt with the walking foot. With a little bit of free motion on the borders.
Nothing very fancy, just enough to add interest to the borders.

I can see why you couldn't cut the paisley fabric---I wouldn't be able to either; and I think the pattern you used is perfect to showcase it. :)
Very pretty! Wonderful pattern to show off that lovely fabric.
Simply beautiful!
I can see why you couldn't cut that fabric. It's lovely.
I like the colours in this quilt and the pattern is simple enough to never tire of it. The border is different from what I normally see, I really like it.

That is a beautiful quilt well done, I love simplicity too, I like to see the quilts which have been intricately put together but I'd be afraid of using it.
Thanks for sharing.

It's beautiful. Sometimes straight lines are exactly right.
Very pretty. What a lovely way to show off that paisley!
I love simplicity as well. Your quilt is beautiful!
I love the fabrics in your quilt. I am a simple quilter too. I admire intricately quilted items but I like a quilt to be comfy and snuggly not stiff with quilting. Maybe it's just sour grape since I can't afford a long armer : )
Beautiful fabrics! I too think simple is better.
You know what, when you have a gorgeous fabric, less is very often more! Very nice quilt. I love the striped fabric for the border around the focal and supporting pieces.
I like simple too...mostly because I feel I can accomplish it! I don't like spending a long while on anything...it overwhelms me...I want to finish. =) Lovely fabrics and the quilt looks great.
Simple is always beautiful and seeing your stripe.....reminded me that I have that in my stash! Wonderful quilt, thanks for sharing.
