Here's a picture of the one I made a couple years ago. I have fabric for another and will get started on it soon. I just love the way these go together and how different each one looks.

I love it. That is the next quilt that I plan on doing. So is it hard to do?

That is one of the prettiest OBW's I've seen. It truly does look like a garden. Do you have some of the original fabric you can show us?

The pattern itself is very easy. The part that takes the longest is arranging the blocks and figuring out where they look the best. I literally sat across the room from my design wall with a laser light. My hubby and daughter were standing by the design wall, and I would use the laser to point to blocks I wanted moved, and then point to where I wanted them moved; I got a better perspective that way, as it was just too hard to see the best placement from up close.
