In the January holidays I was looking for a new design to try out and found this picture on one of my Pinterest boards and was really keen to give these 'flowers' a go...after scribbling out some drawings and calculations, I grabbed the leftovers of Merry Little Girls Stonehenge fabric
and made up this baby quilt. It came together really easily.
Measures about 37" square. I used leftover strips to make the borders and found a nice teal fabric in my stash - I mean, textile preservation collection (ha ha!) for the binding.
When I quilted it I used an all over loopy stipple, sewing some butterflies every now and then...
...and the occasional bee on some flowers (can you spot it?)
The backing is a pale lavender butterfly print that was also in my stash - so pleased I have all those fabrics in my 'collection' to make use of (when the project is right of course!).

| Aren't camera angles funny? It looks really rectangular here but is definitely a square shape! |
