Grandmother’s Flower Garden
My husband’s grandmother loved to make quilts, and we’re fortunate to have two of the quilt tops she finished but never backed nor quilted. One of my favorites is “Grandmother’s Flower Garden,” stitched entirely by hand.
This is an intricate design (as seen on the cover of the book below) and can be pieced in many color combinations. As with most any quilt pattern, you can make smaller projects, like placemats, pillows, wall hangings.
With the coming of spring and summer (at least in the northern hemisphere) patterns with flowers often seem timely to include in our quilting.

Do you have any plans to finish the quilts? Or are you just leaving them as quilt tops?
btw, I tried to answer with “A Florida Orange or a Blood Orange?” but it wouldn’t let me leave a reply like that. heh.
