This is Plumeria ~ Flower of Sicily.

Disclaimer: The products used to make this project were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

It's my Island Batik Ambassador challenge quilt for March. For this challenge, Aurifil thread supplied each of the Ambassadors with a Color Builders thread collection. Each collection represents a different region of Italy.

I had a tough time ...
