    Default Promised wedding quilt

    Shortly before my dear MIL passed away, she pulled this quilt top out of a drawer and asked me to quilt it when her DGD [my niece] got married. It was appliquéd by her mother many, many years ago. The wedding is the end of July and I just finished quilting the top. It still needs binding and a label. I’ve never had borders come out quite this wavy, but I think I can get it to look a little better. I quilted a quarter daisy in the open area corner of each block. In a few of the corners, though, I quilted little surprises.

    Does anyone recognize this pattern? I’d love to include some pattern information on the label.

    The surprises in the corners are so much fun! Your DN will love that you and her Grandmother created this beautiful quilt for her. Lovely!

    What a wonderful, thoughtful gift! I know she'll love & treasure it! I also know I've seen this pattern before but can't remember the name of it to save my soul. Some sort of basket? Flower Basket? May Basket? Posy Basket?
