I've tried twice to post this and something goes wrong. Hopefully it will work this time. My Mom gave me fabric that has a large scale flower print. I posted it on the board and got great suggestions but was too afraid to try the stack & whack, posie or one block wonder. I'm fairly new to quilting and have never done that. I found a simple pattern on line with a dandelion in the middle and could use the fabric in large pieces. I'm calling it "A Weed in Your Garden"...ha. I will be giving it to Mom in a few days as one of her birthday presents. She has no idea that I've been working on it. I am frustrated though because I never seem to get a perfect quilt. I always goof somewhere. On this quilt there is a small pucker on the back side and I didn't do a lot of quilting on it. I just outlined the blocks thinking that might eliminate puckers. Oh well, on to my next quilt. Maybe it will be the perfect one...lol.

I think that is awesome. So summery for a b-day coming close to the start of the season. She will love it guaranteed!

Only you know of the "goof" and if you don't tell, no one else will see it. It is very pretty and a neat idea with the weed.
