    Default Better than I had hoped!! :)

    You wouldn't think I would have had so many problems with this simple pattern!! (Got a Feeling by Abbey Lane)
    The center went together well, problem came when adding the inner border with the appliqued flowers. I measured wrong (!) and not enough fabric to start over, so I figure no problem I'd alter the flower petals to fit, for some reason that gave me a few problems. Once I had the flowers on (all hand sewn) I decided to starch it good.....then it happened....the center blocks all puckered up and wouldn't lie flat! I worked on it off and on for days and finally got some improvement. So I went ahead and added the final charm border and I called it quits! I hoped it wasn't so wavy that it couldn't be quilted out. So I went ahead and sent it off to my LAQ to see what could be done.
    I was NOT disappointed! I am more than pleased with the outcome!
    I named it"Raspberry Blossoms"
    (fabrics are Beach House by Robyn Pandolph)

    so beautiful! I would not be able to do as well as you did ... especially with the applique and then having to make changes! You did a wonderful job and your quilter accented it perfectly.

    Beautiful! Sorry for all your problems, but you can't tell by looking that it caused problems.

    Is this a pattern you followed? If so, where can I find it. If not, can I copy your idea?
