Lil's Giant Starflower quilt

The Giant Starflower quilt is all done and given to the birthday girl for her sweet 16th. 
 I have used 16 inch squares rather than 18 inch ones in Jeni's tutorial for the Giant Starflower so this quilt has finished up at 60 inches (150cm) square.
 I chose a plain dark blue backing which matches the darker blue in the Daisy Floral Blue DS fabric, and have echo quilted along the main blocks which shows up better on the back.
I really like these fabrics as they have a lovely fresh vintagey look about them.
