Flower Power Quilt



Finally I have managed to add more to my flower power quilt. I am now appliqueing more butterflies onto it and also adding bling with beads and embroidery.  The inspiration for this quilt came from Mary Lou Weidmans Flower Power book. http://marylouweidman-marylou.blogspot.co.nz/  I love the bright and cheerful quilts that Mary Lou and her friends make. I have used some of my made fabric for the border and also in some of the flowers.  I am just starting to teach myself to free motion quilt so hope I can eventually add some interesting quilting to this.
