Button Up Buttercup

Wow, is Jessi a lucky girl! She got two quilts in a matter of three days. First, "Clara", and now "Button Up Buttercup". Someone in my quilt guild showed this pattern about a year ago, and I loved it. So, when Moda's Spring Fling line came out, I thought it would be perfect for my girls. (Now, keep in mind this quilt is a year in the making--that's about how fast my kids get their projects from me because I take on too many personal projects and am busy quilting for customers.) Anyway, after I was sufficiently tired of hearing Jessi whine for her "Clara" quilt, I decided to push myself to get this one done. Maybe if she had this one, she wouldn't be so anxious to get the one from the LQS, right? Well, I finished this quilt about the same time she finally was reunited with "Clara". Go figure.






This is a closeup of the ragged flower in the center. I did mostly a stipple and swirl pattern in the center of the quilt, the borders were flowers, leaves, and swirls.






The back is minkee and I did it in Jessi's other favorite color: blue. Mmmmmm . . . blue minkee, so soft.






And finally, here is a close up of the borders.
