I was really in the mood for something spring-like, and I had this pattern hanging around…. 😉 I do love pansies, so it seemed a good idea to go ahead and make this little miniature. It’s only 15.75″ x 9.75″, and I paper-pieced it according to Carol Doak’s easy method, machine quilting the petals of each flower and adding leaves to their stems. Then I did a small version of McTavish-style quilting in the background and a series of quilted pansies in the outer border. Flower buttons and beaded pansy centers were added after the quilting. There’s also a narrow purple piping between the outer border and the binding. I finished this in April, 2006.
