    I made this lap quilt for my grandmother for her 93rd birthday. She loves it.

    The center was a pattern in a magazine that was suppose to be a wall hanging. I wanted it bigger so I just started randomly adding pieces to it till I got to the size I wanted.

    Love the sunflowers. You did a great job on increasing the size of it.
