"Presents Galore"

This quilt has been shown, but not the details surrounding it.  So, finally here they are!

Pattern Source:  inspired by "American Wildflowers"in McCalls's Quilting Mar/Apr. 2015 edition

The quilt below is what the pattern should look like (minus the applique flowers in the setting half  triangles).  Quite a difference, eh!  "Presents Galore" doesn't even resemble this quilt at all, so I was inspired by the block pattern, but then my quilt took off in an entirely different direction.
Quilt Details:

Top Finished:  Aug. 18, 2021

Batting:  Hobbs poly
Machine quilted by:  Kathy Wareham

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

I love how you interpreted the pattern in your own creative imagination. So very different and so lovely. It looks fabulous displayed on the wall.

Beautiful quilt, your version doesn't look anything like the original! I would say you've created a whole new design, happy stitching!
