These large floral designs now so prevalent in quilt shops are gorgeous. Just make sure that the entire flower is prominently featured in the majority of your project. Nothing drives me nuttier than to see a very large floral pattern truncated, chopped, and mutilated into a 6" border. These showy floral designs beg for large areas to be shown at their best and happily there are quilt designers who understand the need for patterns to accommodate these fabrics.

I have made two. the pattern I bought was for a lap quilt but I expanded it for a large queen which I gave to my grand nephew for his wedding quilt and made one for dh and me for our motor home which is for a California queen (shorter than a regular queen) It is a great pattern and really easy piecing. Hugs, Ann

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Fritzi, why don't you get yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and look through the 'gallery'. There are hundreds of quilts there, and you may find some inspiration for your florals.
