    Nina, can you put a link up for that. I can't seem to find it.

    Your quilts are always original, and certainly beautiful. This one will be too. Can't wait to see it completed. Mary.

    I think this could also be a Joseph's Coat lol. Here a couple more blocks. I have 13 petals in the first block and 12 in the second and it took a bit of steaming to make it sit. Then I did 13 petals in the third block but modified the bottom of the petals by taking off the curve, so they would be more pointed meeting in the middle and those were a bit tight also.

    I will now try the modified petal, using 14 and see what that does. I can still use the models tho, a little blocking and steaming plopped then into shape lol.

    Does anybody know of a block like this? or something like it? I am so shocked that the centers are meeting so easily. I had a heck of a time with Joseph's Coat.
