Flower Garden Quilt

Feb 20, 2007 21 Replies

I just finished my largest project ever..I'd say it's a double-bed size. You can see it on Page 3 of my Webshots site.



My son had asked me to make a quilt to donate for an auction to benefit children with cancer. His MBA class at Penn State has a fund-raising auction every April. Well, I started this pattern, and it seemed to grow and grow! Luckily my husband and I were going to Virginia last week, and my friend there has a long-arm machine, AND she was able to quilt it for me! YEAH! I did do the borders myself! I'm very happy with the way it turned out and hope that they will make a big profit for a good cause.


Oh, that's so pretty Alice. What a great way to use florals. I hope it makes loads of money - I'm sure it will. . In message , Alice writes

Alice, it's beautiful! What pattern is it? This should raise a lot of money for a good cause AND give some generous person a beautiful heirloom quilt.

Oh, my gosh!!! That's beautiful, Alice. I hope the auction makes lots of money, too. And now I have an idea on what to do with all the tiny floral prints mom had in her stash!! Thanks.

How pretty, Alice! It should make lots of money!!

That is just lovely Alice. I've seen that pattern somewhere....can you remind me?

I love it Alice.

This is simply gorgeous...it reminds me of a stroll through a Monet painting. :)

Beautiful! You should be proud.

Yes, it would use up lots of florals...mine had 63 different ones. I got the idea from a friend who had a fabric swap in their guild. They only had to buy one or two florals each. I "acquired" all mine on my own...the good news is, I have enough left to make another quilt for myself!!

I'm not sure. I'm just calling mine "Flower Garden"! Anyone else know what the correct pattern name is?

Monet! I hadn't thought of that, but I do love his paintings! Thanks.

Wow, that's so beautiful! What a wonderful thing to do for charity. I hope it makes oodles of money!

Hi Pat, Thanks for the dancing! Yes, Terry quilted it and I got the idea for doing it from pictures she sent from your guild. No, can't make the MAQF, although I'd love to! Have fun!
