Love the colors. Very awesome

Also 4 patch quilts are great. If you want a diffeerent look turn the blocks on point. looks good that way too.

Jan, your Floral Garden quilt is gorgeous! Can you share the pattern, or tell me where you got it? Looks like maybe 4" sqs with a 2" border and another 2" border around with the triangles on two corners of each layer. Is that right? I love scrappy, I love using up what I have, I just love what you have done in this quilt. It's beautiful and you are obviously quite an accomplished quilter/artist.

I love your quilts especially the kinda purple one. what pattern is it?? Have you had a chance to look into the scrap therapy clubs?? they work with all the scraps and you'd be surprised what you can make out of scraps or precut squares, etc.

thanks for sharing.

Have you considered a Cathederal Window? The squares would look great as the windows. Good luck from Ga. Mtns.

I'm working on a Grandmother's Flower Garden as we speak. I have a bunch of 2 1/2" squares cut so far, but need a ton more!
