Jan,
Thank you for the compilment. I made this lap quilt last year for my Mom for Christmas. The pattern is called "Ruby's Iris" by Billie Mahorney. It is not applique, it's a pieced block. As a matter of fact, there are 49 pieces making one Iris block. It was great fun to do & My Mother just loves it. The blocks are 8 1/2" X 10 1/2" unfinished.
Have a great week............Cheryl
