Buoyant Blossoms Quilt, All Done

I finished the Buoyant Blossoms quilt tonight!  It's 60.5" x 78.5".  That makes it a large personal-throw size.

At the end of September, October, and November, I will post the patterns for the Blue Lotus, the Pansies, and the Gladiola.










The Iris block is the one that started it all -- I drew the pattern and printed it to give the ladies at a quilting group to which I was invited.  Then I decided to offer it as the first of numerous BOMs... and so began a quilt.














For those who thought it would be too stiff with all that quilting, here it is draped nicely over the wrought-iron deck bench.
