this is a special 3D quilt created for a young woman who will never have a flower bed outside or have the chance to have a garden, so now she has her very own flower box bed to brighten her remaining days and the prettiest of flowers in the garden is Mariann. but she you will not see
the design is from detailsbydiane. and uses the fused applique technique, so much fun to do and as with all my quilts it is backed with polar fleece for warmth and ease of washing, this time in a bright orange and embroidered with varigated silks, so front or back gives a bright glow to her bedroom.

tiny yoyos were made and sewn to the center of all the flowers and the flower edges fixed in place with small zig zag stitches. annie in the uk

many many thanks to cfidl Cristine who wihout whos help i could not have got the design and who showed so much trust in parting with her money to help someone she will never meet and for altering things in her paypal to allow it to accept payments from the uk. Bless you Cristine. and i hope you have as much fun creating your own flower bed boxs quilt. annie in the uk

it took me just over two months to get this done but hubby was taken ill during that time hence the time span. the longest part is cuting the flowers out after that it was plain sailing. well almost. annie

Beautiful. I love the fabrics you chose for the flowers. I have this pattern and made it with batiks. I like yours. The purpose behind it is more meaningful too.

It is beautiful! 1 question, did you fused the blocks on to the polar fleece or quilt them on! Thanks for sharing! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

the flowers were fused onto the fabric then i zigzaged around the edges. the design calls for slits to be cut into the flowers but the next one will not have that done as the fabric tends to lift. so it will be left entire and not cut the center yoyos will hold the fabric down with no problem then, the polar fleece is the backing and i embroidered a flowere quilt block onto the center sections leaveing the outer border quilted in lines, i only fused the floweres to the front blocks, i used the smaller flower tempate for this quilt
I hope this will help you when you creat your own flowere boxs quilt
