Summer Scents Mosaic.... what a great name for this pretty quilt! I had fun looking up a map so I could know the answers to your Windsor / Detroit questions. So, is it called Ashtanga Mysore yoga because when you are through you say "Ohhhh.... my sore ash!"?Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-81440605264529406462015-06-21T16:16:54.832-04:002015-06-21T16:16:54.832-04:00The Detroit skyline looks great!

I grew up in Toledo Ohio (essentially a suburb of Detroit) and used to watch Windsor 9 tv. (I think that's what it was -- this was 35 years ago). I like that you added the border, it really ties the quilt together.

I'm am geographically challenged, so I looked up that it's the Detroit River, but no idea which way you are facing (towards the fabric store? away from the fabric store?).

I always go with White and Natural batting. It's thin, soft. But I like the thought of flannelette instead of batting for a light summer quilt. <br />Sorry I don't know a lot about your country. Been in Canada twice and think it is absolutely beautiful!
