It is named Buttercream Twist. Free pattern here:

I did not make mine square I made it with 5 across instead of 6 like the pattern calls for, I used the left over fabric strip sets in the binding.

After all she's been through, I'm sure she will love the surprise and cherish it and your thoughtfulness.

So please don't look to close.!! She was thrilled about getting the surprise quilt.
I loved the quilting stitches with all the hearts. Thanks for looking.

I've always loved the pink and green combination - and your quilting is gorgeous!
