    Nice Barb, love the sunflowers.
    You have my sympathy, I had knee surgery last year. I would NOT do it on the other knee! Seems like it took forever to recover.

    There are a lot of different flowers. Each corner has a Magnolia Blossom, there are roses, delphiniums, Iris, Clover,Erica,bluebells,fuschia to name a few.

    I do hope you like it. Its got really big so I photographed the quilt on my bed so you can see it and then the flowers separately.

    Wow, Elle, that is stunning!!!!!!!!

    I have been completely out of commission since the kids started summer vacation (which, of course, to MOM is NOT summer vacation!). My DH and the DD and DS are in California for a week visiting his parents so I have time to actually get some sewing done! Yeah!

    Anyway, I have Elle's gorgeous quilt with Patti's stunning butterflies....and I found the matching fabric but with darker background color as the 1st border so I am going to do something with that - along with the "too pretty to cut up" geisha's holding fans fabric....can't wait to figure out what to do with it! Fortunately I have 3 weeks before it needs to be mailed out!

    Can't WAIT to sew again! It has been way too long....

    Thanks Steph, They really are easy to do, maybe a bit fiddily but I really enjoyed doing them.

    Oh Steph...I'm going to really think about how to quilt that baby....it will be awhile yet. I have several things in my MUST get done pile!

    The fabs. for Elle's sound gorgeous, can't wait to see what you work up! I worked on yours this afternoon....I'm getting closer, but not done yet. DH keeps distracting me and dragging me off in different directions... :evil: :roll:

    Mgrhs....that is beautiful job on Judy's center...I love your pattern!
