BTW the lace around the bonnet isn't tacked down, it's just sewn in the seam on one side, then I connected the lace at the bottom section of the hat so it would look like it's all one piece. I did tack down the ribbon though, that was the hardest part in figuring out how to do that and make it look pretty.
The idea for this came from an embroidery of a bonnet filled with flowers, so interpreting it into fabric was a little strange but it was doable.

I was just telling a friend that I had no thought of receiving a block like this but that I love it! It's so different than what I would make for myself. That's probably why I'm already so fond of it. And maybe the best part is that lace. I'll treasure it. Thank you!

Bonus block for you, Janice. Originally I had planned on one block but it was too busy, just looked very close to the uncut fabric so I switched gears. But I had already printed & cut the pieces, so I finished the first but I didn't know what to put in the center of the second until this little piece dropped on the floor while I was pawing through my stash looking for something else. Hope it works in your quilt.
