I continue to add to my “Give Yourself Flowers” series because I think that it is such an important concept in all of our lives. Don’t wait for someone else to appreciate you. Appreciate yourself. You are special.
The new addition to the series is entitled “Give Yourself Flowers on Palm Sunday” simply because I finished the top on Palm Sunday. I am not sure what kind of flowers are depicted in the preprinted panel that makes up the center of the quilt, but the serenity of the white flowers on a green background makes me think of Sunday. The butterflies are a sweet addition to the peaceful scene.
“Give Yourself Flowers on Palm Sunday” measures 35 x 52 inches. It is pieced and quilted by machine. Although I loved the serenity of the quilt, I decided it needed some sparkle, lest she go unnoticed, so I added many crystals in different colors. I also added some butterfly charms to carry out the theme of the quilt.
I used a green African print on the back because I like to include as much African fabric in my quilts as possible. There is a hanging sleeve on the back of the quilt for easy display, and a label that documents the quilt. I signed and dated it on the front although it is hard to see it.
“Give Yourself Flowers on Palm Sunday” is one-of-a-kind.
