The pattern is from the May 2010 issue of American Quilter magazine. It's called Magic Flowers and in the magazine it is done in pink and blue batiks. I used Civil War repros. I thought that the little squares in the blocks along the border looked unfinished, just floating out there all alone, so I came up with something to "connect" them to the border and added the vines/arcs. I also added the hearts in the centers and borders.

Nice to see you posting again Pam. I wondered why you changed the direction of the hearts and that makes perfect sense that they will be upside down when on a bed if you didn't. The quilt is looking great.
