    Hi,

    I would like to create a grandma's flower garden quilt, but I only have 7 or 8 flowers. Is there a way to create one with the few flowers? Pictures would be extremely helpful.
    Thanks!

    Applique the flowers to a larger background square and add sashing & borders.

    welcome from Indiana! I agree with the above. Applique on larger squares and boarders
