Help me name this quilt
Yes I've posted this quilt before when I had a quilting question but now I need to name it, so sorry about posting the same quilt again.
It's for my mother's 80th birthday. I need help with a name for it and thought I'd turn to you clever gals. To me the pattern looks like a package so it fits with the birthday present idea, and she has a green thumb and has always grown flowers wherever we've lived plus this color scheme is one she has in her living room so it reminds me of her (and red is her favorite color). She always used to tell me wen I was young that red and brown go together but back then I didn't think so. I proved to myself with this quilt that she is right (and I'm old enough now not to care that she is right). But even with knowing all this I still can't come up with a good name. Help me please.

Lovely quilt!
Does your mom have a nickname she's known by? Or what's her 1st name? I sometimes like to incorporate a lil personal aspect to my quilt gift naming.
Also as she always told you red and brown go together and now you not only agree but have proof (haha), maybe incorporate that lil backstory some how. Hmmm...think, think.
"Momma always does know best".
"Ain't no frown with red and brown" (just kidding on that one..my humor is often not humorous to others..lol).
I'll keep pondering. And co know others will be along with awesome ideas!
Regards,
Kif
