A Garden Quilt

The photos of this garden quilt that a friend of mine made doesn't due justice to the beauty of this wonderful quilt. It took many hours and much patience to make it. I would encourage any advance quilter to attempt to make this beautiful quilt.  As far as beginner quilter, why not begin by doing just one block. The photo below shows two blocks. Even a beginner attempting these blocks might be a bit too much.

    The quilt patterns for this quilt are amazing. Each block represents a part of a garden or a particular flower or group of flowers.  The blocks of the quilt are surrounded by wonderful floral print fabric squares sewn together to make a quilt border as you can see in the photo above and below.

Notice the butterflies, bird house, bird bath, watering can, and the many pretty flowers. You can actually purchase this quilt if you are interested click here. She only made one so when it is sold, it's gone.
