Quilt #6 "Mother's Flower Garden"

I love this fabric. It is so soft and pastely (if that's a word)


I almost didn't want to cut it because I loved it so much.



Some squares were nine patch squares and the bigger print flower was a single large square.

























Sandwiching it together. I need more quilting pins. :-)








I did the free motion machine quilting. I love quilting like this and it's amazing how easy it is (once you get use to how to do it)









Sewing on the binding










opps...this is a little out of order. I made the binding out of all the scraps. I love this kind of binding and it doesn't waste fabric.












This is the back all quilted and finished. Love the crinkly look.











This one I made for my wonderful Mother. I was hesitant about making her one because she is such a talented quilter. But I really wanted to make her something special and she loved it.














I wanted to get a photo of it hanging out on the clothes line because she uses the clothes line. Mother lives in the farm house on a small farm. It's the house that I grew up in from 9 years old till I got married. Love this place....lot's of good memories.













Here it is on her bed. My Mother, my Mam-maw Bundon and my Mam-maw Walker are all fantastic quilters and I have quilts from all of them. I am so thankful for the women in my life and for the family God gave to me.
















I love you Mother. Your quilt was made with lots of love.
