The fabrics are mainly Japanese with solid small blocks of colour in between the larger squares. I hand quilted it with different colours of perle cotton no.8.

I felt so elated and excited and could hardly believe that she was mine.
My father came to see her when she was just two hours old, bearing a huge bunch of black tulips like these ones
and a very large bag of chocolate goodies, and Melissa and I were terribly spoilt with lots of visits from family and friends. What happiness I can conjure up just thinking about that magical time.
Ka nui taku aroha ki a koe dearest Melissa

Beautiful quilt, beautiful flowers, beautiful words.
Your father brought you special tulips for a special little girl, what a nice memory! Your birthday quilt is also very special: that's where Melissa gets her talent! Congratulations on your etsy shop.
georgeous quilt, it's truly very special. I have yet to learn to quilt, though I have a tidy(ish) pile of teastained fabrics I want to turn into a small lapquilt to live in the living room, I have yet to be brave enough to cut it into squares let alone sew them together... one day..
What a wonderful quilt! I am sure she will be thrilled. I want to make one myself...just a little timid. Happy Birthday Melissa! xxx
this is a wonderful present.
Beautiful work, love the colours!!!
I see that tinyhappy is your daugther, I can see where the talent comes from.
I will some day attempt to do some patch work...myself..
What a beautiful quilt, and what precious memories behind it..
Oh, your the mum of tiny happy!
I seen your quilt on her blog first.
I love her blog too. And now its very interesting
For me to see the different way of creativity.
Thanks to share this in your both blogs.

(sorry, because of my bad english :-/ )
I am intrigued by the words in another language; they, too, seem beautiful and poetic. It must be a native language of New Zealand? Are many New Zealanders fluent in the native language?
(Frauke, your English is beautiful.)
I love lilacs and i love the quilt too, I should since I've made it as well. Happy birthday to tiny happy.
that's really beautiful... the quilt and the maori words to M.
