    This was made from left overs from drunkards path blocks.i made flower blocks from the left overs.
    and used a flower print panel for the back.

    Very nice! Did you design the flowers or were they from a pattern?

    the flowers were just the sections left over when i cut out some drunkards path patterns. the arc piece. i place the templates on fabric as close together as possible and trace them. then cut out. the "petals" were just what was left over and i decided they would make great flowers.
    and no, no pattern.

    I intended to make a quillow out of it but had trouble stitching the pillow to it. i'd used batting to quilt the front flower block and it was in the seams. too much thickness.
