The "Fly Me to the Moon" contest gave me the opportunity to realize the long-cherished plan of making a "Happy Villages" quilt. Since I saw Karen Eckmeier's instructions in the AQS magazine and later in the QuiltShow, it needed only this challenge to combine the technique with my own photos taken during our trip along the beautiful Amalfi coast. My handdyed fabrics, actually failed and saved for a quilt backing, fit the required size and the moonlight reflections on the first sketch perfectly, lucky me.

2016 started with a mail that this quilt was juried into the FMTTM collection and will travel for at least four years.
