Some of you who have been following my blog for a while might remember this table topper I made a year ago. Piece O' Cake Designs was having a contest.
They had a copy of this block on their site and the object was to use it any way you like.
So I repeated the design four times. I put mine on a circle. I used wool for the applique flowers. My husband got on to something called Google Sketch-Up. He figured out how many prairie points I would need to put around the circle. I have a tutorial on my side bar that explains how to make the prairie points if you want to give them a try.
Piece O' Cake Designs has come out with their newest pattern packet called "my whimsical quilt garden". I was sent a copy because my quilt was one of the winners of the contest.
On the last page of the instruction booklet there is a page called "More Inspiration." You can see my quilt and the other winners. How cool is that?Congratulations to the other winners too. They made some fabulous things. I am so excited to be a winner and to see a picture of my quilt in their booklet.
With Passion,
Carrie P.
