The inspiration for this quilt came from visiting the botanical garden on the mall in Washington DC. It was on a hot day in June 2011 that we found ourselves wandering into this great escape from the heat. The garden is luscious, beautiful, and serene.
This pattern is great for using all those wonderful big print floral fabrics that are so easy to fall in love with. I used a great Amy Butler purple dot for the background fabric. The quilting highlights the floral fabrics with a modern feather and my favorite background back-and-forth filler.
I designed this quilt to have that very chic bohemian feel which goes great with many interior design elements. This pattern also has a bonus table runner!
