Quilt pattern with Hummingbird/flowers applique as center block
I am making an applique block 15"x15" of a hummingbird and vines, leaves and flowers from colorful batiks and a soft batik background that looks like sky. Any suggestions on a pattern or blocks to put around it to make a lap quilt would be greatly appreciated. I did buy bird border cloth for it called "Sandy's Garden", but need ideas for the blocks surrounding the applique. Maybe 9 patch or a block that resembles a flower or a mixture of blocks? This is for my 81 year old mother-in-law who loves hummingbirds. Thank you in advance for ideas!
