V's Version

The thing about this that is so odd is that there are no whites in this piece at all. I mean for two flowers that are traditionally known as "white" flowers - I would have thought there might be some white fabrics. But no. They are all really pale, pale lavenders, grays and pinks and shades of green and yellow golds. The daisy colors were VERY hard to find. They did not have them at Asilomar's Cotton Patch (yet another reason I had to give up on my piece there), nor at any of the quilting fabric stores in my area. I went to them all. I had to finally go to the bridal fabric section! For some reason - pale gray and pale lavender are de riguer for the modern bride and taboo for the modern quilter. Go figure.

Did I mention that this is a super secret commission for a wedding? If you know someone who is getting married - don't send them to my site. It's supposed to be a surprise.
