Project Quilting Season 8 - Carolina Lily

Another week of Project Quilting is completed. This week's challenge was to be inspired by the Carolina Lily. The Carolina Lily looks a lot like the tiger lily that grows in our yard, also know as carrot flowers for how they look before they bloom.

While flipping through a sketchbook at the beginning of the week I came across the perfect quilt idea that reflected on the shape of the Carolina lily quilt block. I decided that would be my quilt for this challenge. I pulled a number of floral inspired fabrics and set to work.

Half square rectangles frame the center nine patch with the half square triangle stem. The feathered quilting and swirl quilting helps to separate the different sections.

The baking is a cute floral print with lilies and a few cute kittens.

My Lily Garden quilt finishes at 39"x39". The perfect size baby quilt.
