It quilted up nicely with Hobbs cotton batting. She wanted it quilted with the "Chantilly Lace" design. I just love the fabrics used in this one. I'm always afraid to use larger scale floral, I'm never sure what to do with them and then I see a quilt like this one and I wish I had made it. LOL! 
This quilt was a nice size, it measures 92x104. I didn't get a photo of the backing but I think you can see a little of it in the first photo. It is a creamy floral wideback, I just love it. 
I'm going to load my next one on later tonight and get started on it first thing in the morning after everyone leaves for school. I have to do the binding also on it. During a couple of my breaks today, I sat down at my sewing machine and pieced a few more log cabin blocks. I think I'm up to 15 now. I still have problems with my hips from time to time so I have to take breaks every little bit from standing at the frame, so this was the perfect time to get a few more blocks finished. I didn't get a photo of them but you will just have to take my word for it. :)
I'm off to finish up some laundry and get that other quilt loaded on the frame before bedtime.

Very, very pretty! I usually don't use large florals either; for some reason I stay with small prints such as reproduction prints.
My neighbor, who does LAQ, had to take a break because her back was hurting. Taking breaks now and then is a good idea.
That is a lovely, romantic feeling quilt.
The quilt looks fabulous, I love the fabrics you have used.
