The orange colored fabric adds to the design in such a way that this is not particularly a Christmas quilt.

Bonnie created the Tropical Breeze quilt using black and white and lime.

The floral border really gives this quilt a personality!


Proudly presented, nice big smiles. Now, get it finished!!
