One Day Closer to Another Finish

I started this lovely quilt just about a year ago.

I'd made several for other people, and decided

I wanted one just for me. Something a little

vintage-looking, feminine, sweet maybe.

I started it one day without a pattern, and soon

found myself in a pickle in how it was all

put together. I was pretty new at this yet.

 My dad's baby quilt--1930's

I kept my hand in the photo for a size reference. 
Tiny, precise stitches, oh my!

Floriography Quilt Finale

Floriography is defined as 'the language of flowers.' 

In times past, sending certain flowers referenced specific things, possibly secret messages or hidden meaning. We've heard of the different meanings of rose colors. Yellow for friendship, red for true love, and so on. Flowers mark milestones in our lives today, and I love both sending and receiving. Give me a bouquet of mixed wild flowers any day over roses, though. I'm all about color, you know?
