Iris Garden Sampler

When Heather’s quilt started to show signs of wear I took her shopping to gather material for a replacement. She chose a lovely moss green print covered with raspberry canes, leaves, blossoms and fruit. It was from a line called Audra’s Iris Garden by Brannock and Patek for Moda Fabrics. The other colors in the line were toast, chocolate, scarlet, goldenrod and a deep, satisfying purple. I bought a little of everything and set to work. It didn’t take long to assemble twenty 12” blocks. Several are copies of blocks on Heather’s current quilt. But by the time the twelve intermediary Daisy Chain blocks were done, she’d decided she no longer wants this quilt. Heather’s not very good at expressing why she dislikes something, but I have to assume it’s because it isn’t green enough. So this top is the seventeenth donated to the hospital quilters, and her new quilt is back to square one.
