OOOhhhhh, we'd love a picture!! Sounds beautiful. :-D
Here's a picture. The idea came from a picture on the front of a quilting magazine. I can't take the credit for the design; however, I changed a few things. I also made one with dark blue blocks and have enough flower garden blocks for another one. Works out great as I have 3 daughters. Now, to get them hand quilted will be another job. Thanks for the interest.

The blocks are actually a light yellow. Color didn't come out true.
