I had nurtured my hydrangea plant for a couple of years and finally had blooms on it when a heavy rainstorm hit.   I was worried that I might not have any petals left with the hard rain, and went outside during a lull in the storm to see that the blossoms had survived.   It inspired me to make this art wall quilt  using a snippet technique to form the flowers.  It is covered in tulle and machine quilted.  I then hand beaded it using clear bugle beads to simulate the rain.
