My mouth fell open when I saw these. Absolutely GORGEOUS! I showed my Mom because she loves pansies. She thought they were really great. Although, she thinks I'm crazy sometimes (When I'm into something, I'm really INTO it. Excited about it...)

Great work!!

Really love the Pansies. My grandmother always had pansies planted in her garden so I think of her every time I see a Pansy. Id love to see the pattern for the Pansies. Tho I'm sure I could come up with one of my own, yours already looks perfect. Do you sew around the the edges of the Pansies or just iron on the fusible web? And will it stay in place if it's washed?

I have 3 blocks assembled but not stitched. They are just fused in place. I have lots more flowers cut out, but had to set it aside for a little while. A lady that I work with is retiring June 1 and I wanted to make something for her since she has always been so nice to me. I found Aunt Hatties Garden in McCalls under web bonuses and am working on it now. It is an applique with much larger pieces ,but I am having a terrible time deciding on sashing and border fabrics. I buy something I like and by the time I get it home, I have decided that it's too dark. I think I will use the fabrics anyway but insert a third narrow border of buttery yellow to lighten it up. I am so wishy washy! I have such a hard time deciding. Please someone come over and make the decision for me :lol: :!: :!:

Vicki, you should try to find the "Molly's Magic Pansies" pattern online. I think the sashing in it may be just what you are after. It is composed of square of various green that are pieced, and just for kicks, they threw in a couple of nine patches, which I made up in deep violet and white. It really adds interest.
Hope this helps!
