A few months ago I shared this lovely little number with you all. After being a little overwhelmed and frustrated that it wasn't looking right I decided to make it a flower garden quilt and break up the prints with some solid kona snow.
I am happy to report, that even though this has been a slow going project, I am still in love with it and look forward to finishing it up this year. Right now it measures about a square yard. (3ft x3 ft) I have already pulled the paper pieces from the middle, and love the way it flows. This is the most hand sewing I have done in a very long time.
If I was to start over I probably would have kept the flowers in the same colorways, but I still love it the way I ended up doing it as well. Even the back is pretty to me .
I am happy to be back blogging, we had my sister and her family in town for a visit this week and it was much fun letting Sophie play with her two little cousins. The coolest part is one is a week younger then her. They all got along wonderfully as usual. Her oldest cousin was a blessing helping us with teaching Sophie to use the big potty, I am happy to report we are officially potty trained!
WISHING EVERYONE A GREAT WEEK!
Looks awesome! I love the fabrics you chose and like the flower garden look! I am really scared to try hexies/paper piecing, lol.

Your flower garden is so pretty - I love the randomness of the prints in each flower. I'll see my sister and her family in March (we live 5000 km apart) and your post has me feeling so much more excited that my daughter will be with her two girl cousins for 9 whole days. They'll have a ball! Thanks for sharing that sweet photo.
