Date: 7/26/12 9:13 AM Stunning ... absolutely stunning.
Does the pattern have a name? I don't think I've ever seen a pattern quite like this one.
Great job -- how are you going to quilt it?

Date: 7/26/12 10:32 AM Thank you all so much for your comments. The blocks are 'framed flowers' and 'square in a square'
Not my original, but taken from a book. I loved the design so much, and am making it for my adopted grand daughter [son's partner's little girl] who is very interested in my quilting, and loves all the colours of the rainbow
I think I shall machine quilt an outline around the block shapes, but I have a stencil for dragonflies and butterflies, which I am going to hand quilt onto the corners of the framed flower blocks, and along the borders. ------ Multi-lingual [fluent in many machines]

Date: 7/26/12 10:58 AM the pattern is just made up of two types of blocks, called framed flowers, and square in a square. 18 flower blocks and 17 square blocks each 12 inches square. The border is 3 inches wide. Finished size around 66 x 90. I used fabric called 'emmas flowers' and a selection of other fabrics. [bought the fabrics a while ago, and can't remember what they are]
Don't think the overall pattern has a name.
