I think that will be the name of this little quilt that I started on the weekend with the fabric Teri sent me. I have been making flowers and glue basting in place off and on last night and today. This will make a great little girl quilt. Right now I have flowers glue basted in place on the top half and have the second half to make still. I intend to have all the flowers glue basted by tomorrow night then I can start the stitch work.
Coming out of the flowers I will embroider a couple tendrils here and there in green I think. I had thought to scatter some leaves around the flowers here and there but I think embroidery sometimes adds a bit of dimension and feel it will be good in this quilt. I can have some longer than others kind of leading on to the next flower if you know what I mean. The pattern that I choose to use for the flower indicated to use buttons for the centers but I don’t like to do that on a quilt that is intended to use as babies and toddlers are known for sticking things in there mouths – I will applique little yellow circles instead. Here is the look so far – remember just glue basted for now!
I don't think I will change anything but like to throw it up on the wall now and then to see placement. Seeing as this is a small one I didn't want to get the big design wall out to put together so I just tacked some felt up on the wall over the wall hanging instead - easier when it is for something small that doesn't need a lot of work.
a close up
After I get everything in place I will step back and look again and maybe replace a petal here and there = not too sure on a couple petals 
you know how that goes. I didn’t notice a few blocks here and there in the patchwork part of the quilt that I would have changed but have no intention of taking it apart now! They will stay where they are but the petals aren’t sewed down yet so that can be changed easily enough. Sometimes I just don’t look a quilt over enough before I start to sew and then I’m unhappy with some placement – but I get over it quickly!!
Funny how it goes but this quilt doesn’t look anything like the quilt I saw in the book that I was using for inspiration!! What happened, I intended it to be a lot like it but now it is my design instead it sure did inspire me though
