I have the same garden panel - and plan to sew log cabin blocks around it to create a radiating affect. It is for my 89 year old "Mommy" and I plan to add this to the quilt label.
(Please note - I did not write this - alas, have had it so long that I cannot give credit to the author....but I think that it's just beautiful and will be perfect for the quilt!)
MY MOTHER'S GARDEN
My mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life its start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rains came,
she protected me enough~
But not too much - she knew I'd need
to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong~
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my mother's garden,
I am her legacy~
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me.
