Before my mother passed away she crossed stitched a large quilt top of beautiful purple iris. She never had it quilted. I took the quilt top and tore apart the blocks, they were 18 in square, and found some beautiful iris fabric to match. I have cut the blocks down and framed each one with coordinating fabric and used the iris fabric in the corners of each block and then backed it with the iris fabric. I am giving it to my nephew for a wedding present. It will be a gift from his grandmother and aunt. I think he will appreciate it.
