State Flower Quilt Blocks
Lovely quilt and great cabinet.
Would love to see your Mom's "matching" quilt too.
Great idea for the chronological order of the blocks.
Maybe you'd like to add the year onto each block?
When I did a quilt for our BiCentennial, I did similar, but a maple leaf for each province/territory with the name and year included.

This brings back memories to me. My parents started a state bird/flowers embroidered quilt before they were married. They married in 1948. This quilt only has 48 embroidered blocks, because there were only 48 states then. They never finished it, so I finished it when I was a teenager. (I am now 66!) My parents, of course, are no longer here, but I am privileged to own this quilt.
