I love flower fabric but lately have steered away from the large florals as they were too difficult to put into a quilt and do them justice. This quilt is just the answer.

Sorry, I took so long to see your question.
I found this pattern in www.keepsakequilting.com
The name of the pattern is Terry's Flower Bed. It can be purchased as a pattern or as a kit. Have fun collecting!! :-D

I don't think I used any state flower fabrics but I couldn't swear to it. I just went for the largest prints I could find & tried to make sure that most of them had some green in them. I stayed away from the light colored backgrounds with big floral prints for the most part. Have fun!! I sure did!

I've seen the shadow box done with juvenile prints inside also (at a baby shower) & I thought it was a great quilt. For a juvenile quilt I'd want to use brighter sashing too.

That is beautiful! It's like looking though a window of wild flowers! Makes me want to run out and smell all of them!
