Hello all,
This little quilt is from our recent challenge which was called "5 in a bag"
We were given 5 blocks in a paper bag, which had to be used in the front of
the quilt. The blocks given to me are the darker purple & green.
I always procrastinate & end up doing a small project. This was from
Mickey Depree's book garden whimsy, a wonderful book.
I accidently found out whose blocks I had & knew that she had recently lost
her DH, so the quilt was made for her & includes a line from ecclesiastes above the flower.

Jill,
I love the fabrics in your applique! Did you use large rick rack with the binding to get the wavy edge? Very nice effect!

Very nice "fade-out" effect. Sounds like a fun exchange.

Laurel, I did use rick rack to try & pull some of the whimsy to the edge.
Word to the wise, i guess rick rack is synthetic because when I went to steam block the quilt some of it curled!
