Quilt design is taken from Spring Fantasy pattern in "Floral Applique: Original Desingns and Techniques for Medallion Quilts" by Nancy Pearson, that I modified and arranged to fit the design I had in mind.
The quilt was originally started about 20 years ago, and after completing about 2/3'rds of the appliques it had to be set aside and was placed in storage for many years. Two years ago I rescued it from storage and started working on it again while my husband was undergoing chemo. I had completed the applique and the quilting on the center medallion and about 1/2 of the innner border when once again it was set aside when my husband died.
I recently started quilting on it again and completed the inner border quilting and have started on the second border quilting.
It is all hand appliqued and heavily hand quilted.
