Pati's Formal Flower Garden (TWIT Quilt) - This is the TWIT version of the previous quilt. TWIT stands for Traditional With Interesting Twist. It grew from playing with my "Quilt Patis" (tm) to make up the flowers.
Pati's Flower Garden - This is the first quilt of two for my class "Be A TWIT*" that I taught in the Saturday Morning Medly at the 2005 NQA Show in June in Columbus, Ohio.
