The centre of the quilt is the pre-printed fabric and I added the green fabric to frame and bind.  The second larger border I used the flower material to compliment.   I used Moda Calico for the backing and to quilt it I used the longarm pantagraph pattern WALLFLOWER by HERMOINE AGEE.   The finished size is 56" x 46" The size of this project would be ideal for doing straight line quilting using masking tape as a quide on your sewing machine. My Block of the month Flowers at the Mill will soon be up and running .  I am doing a Block of the Month with my quilt  "Flowers at the Mill".  This consists of 12 Blocks around a Central Block with setting triangles, Border and four corner squares. My inspiration for this quilt was a visit to the wonderful gardens at Docton Mill, Hartland, Devon.   Whilst having a superb lunch there I decided I would go back home and design a quilt and below is the result.   My dear friend Mary Williams helped me, and kept me on track.  The quilt has been made-up three times two with a black background, one of which Mary hand appliqued with button hole stitch.  The other quilt with the pale background was machined. For the Central Block and the surrounding 12 blocks There is an additional and seperate project. This can be purchased in kit form, with the choice of a dark or a light background.  Or patterns only. Please contact me if you are interested. Details will be posted shortly.
