I just finished (I think!) 4 wallhanging tops for my daughter. I'll thread paint and quilt them when I return to CT. The flower panels came from Keepsake - I couldn't resist when they were on sale. My daughter has a wall that needs color - and she asked me to make a quilt. The rest of the room is black and white - white furniture with a huge black and white photo on one wall. I'm sending these pictures to her, too. It will be her first inkling of what I'm doing.

I WELCOME any suggestions. I've had many sleepless hours trying to decide what to do AFTER I did the HSTs on each flower panel. Then I added the outside borders - which I plan to machine quilt with the flower in each panel.

I toyed with adding more HSTS on the outside edge, and making the current outside border a bit smaller. What do you think?

Gorgeous! Did you paint the flowers or are they a panel of some sort?
