This is the first quilt I ever made. It was for my mom’s birthday. The colours of the flowers are here favorites. The gold in between is from an old satin skirt. I used the English paperpiecing method & it was very labour-intensive. I loved making the quilt! And I still love the end result!

I was given the fabrics as a birthday gift. As I wanted a design to showcase these sumptuous fabrics, I chose this simple but striking pattern. My daughter fell in love with the quilt, so once I finished quilting it, I gave it to her for her birthday. Now my other two daughters want one as well!
