Patchworks Studio 1st Annual 'Flowers on Friday' Challenge - Summer 2014

Want some summer fun?  How about a challenge for the summer
(winter for my friends 'down under')

Four blog entries showing flowers from my garden were posted during June 2014. 

 

The challenge: 

Make a quilt (or table runner, bed runner, table square) using one of the four 

June 2014 Flowers on Friday photographs as your inspiration

Here are the details and rules:

You must use photographs from one of these

 four blog posts as inspiration for your entry.

• Your quilt must be 3 layers and must be completely finished.
• The minimum perimeter must be 80" (for example, your project could be 20" square; or it could be a runner measuring 15" x 25").
• There is no maximum size.
• Your quilt DOES NOT have to be a 'flower' quilt.
