Yay - I'm ready for my day on the Where Flower's Bloom Blog hop! This is a great time for flowers, I've got so many pretties out in my yard right now - so inspiring!
My favorite peppermint rose - isn't this so pretty? Maybe a pink and green quilt would be fun.
And these yellow ones smell like heaven! I always love yellow in a quilt, I think maybe I need to add some of that, too.
The Lithadora is a favorite of the bees - there was one, but I guess he was a little camera shy because I don't see him anywhere. Well, I suppose my quilt is going to need a little bit of blue as well!
With all this floral inspiration I was having a hard time deciding what fabric to use for my project, but I had a little brainstorm at the last minute and looked through my stash of charm packs and oh, yes - I hit the jackpot! Chance of Flowers by Sandy Gervais for Moda was the perfect choice for my quick little table topper. I started off with some big nine patch blocks.
A little cutting, a little shuffling and one more round of stitching got the top finished in no time at all. Then I dug into my stash, and I didn't have to go too far to find a sweet little flowery backing, and the perfect shade of yellow for binding.
And how do you think I quilted this?
Loopy flowers, of course! I used a variegated yellow thread from Aurifil - 50 wt is always perfect for an overall design to give you lots of texture without seeing the thread as much. I used the same thread and similar quilting for my
Twinkle Star baby quilt last year!
This backing is a cute print from Riley Blake.
Check out how cute my little bud vase looks with this! Tomorrow I'm going to cut one of those yellow roses for my cute little lady to wear in her hat.
Here's the whole quilt - a petite 26 inches square. It is available for purchase in my
Etsy Shop - I know someone is going to love this on their table!
And I got lucky this afternoon when the sun came out - here's a garden shot to enjoy!
I hope you find as much inspiration and enjoyment as I have with all the lovely projects in the blog hop. Don't forget to check out the rest of Thursday's quilts:
Thanks again to Miss Carla of
Creatin' in the Sticks for putting together this fun hop! I had a blast coming up with my project - hope you enjoyed it!

I would love to see that fabric line in a whole quilt. Pinned it so I could try and find the fabric.
The Peppermint Rose is a beauty. Your mini is so sweet with the soft colors, love it. And the bud vase is something I would absolutely love to have. The mini would be right in the middle of my dining room table with that bud vase in the center. Perfect.
