Flowers for Madeleine - An Heirloom Baby Quilt

My favorite finish this year!
This is the shower invitation that inspired me, shown on the backing fabric I chose:
 
Raw-Edge Applique is a new technique for me, and I really had fun with it. Quilting was the best part though, I just echo-stitched the flowers, cherries, and leaves with matching Aurifil 50wts :
Quilter's Choice cotton batting gives it a perfectly soft drape, and the large bubbles have a great texture for Madeleine to squish between her fingers
I love the lamb print for the backing:
And a cute little label to finish:-)
And Woo-Lah!
I had one final photo shoot before it was off in the post office!
I am entering this one in the Bloggers Quilt Festival Baby Category,

    Very pretty! I love how the raw edge will soften the edges of the petals over time. Great job!

    Love this quilt and love your circle quilting. Is this your own quilt design? Will you be having a tut or a pattern for it?
