Wow! The flowers are beautifully done with such subtle shading. I like the fact that she used log cabin style diamond to further carry out the main body of log cabin blocks.

You see the combination of designs on the fabric up close and you say this can't work, but then from away it is beautiful. All the intricate work WOW
