I wanted to work on something "springy" and I found this in an old Fons & Porter magazine that I had bookmarked for future sewing. Well, it only took me 5 years to start this (LOL) and it went together rather quickly.

The directions in F&P magazines are rather vague so I altered a couple things. I think that's one of the reason's I quit getting their magazine a long time ago. That and most of their patterns are for Intermediate and Experienced and I was a newbie back then.

Anyway, the Dogwood's are fused and I will stitch around them when I quilt it. This is only the top and needs to be finished. The original pattern called for 3 more bindings but I'm not sure if I'll do that. I kinda like it the way it is. What do you think? Maybe one more wider binding???

Top only..
