I pieced this over the last year while I was traveling. I have to have something to do in the car and in the motel at night. I had lots of the yellow material and just used scraps for the rest. It is strange to make a quilt that isn't going to someone specific.

I think about 75 X 75. I enjoy the hand piecing and hand quilting and it makes car trips go so much faster. I call the quilts I piece on trips my car quilts. I've started another one that will take over 300 little stars.So far I've made 30, I think we better hit the road!!!

Lovely, the yellow background really sets off the flowers.

No, I appliqued the gardens onto the yellow squares, and putting a small border of the yellow around the whole thing. It's not fancy but I kinda like it. It looks homey to me.
