A friend in Hugs and Stitches handed me some fabric and asked if I could come up with a quilt. One fabric was cute girl angels on white background. The second fabric was a pink button pattern. The third fabric was an ugly green/turquoise modern looking pattern. The fourth was a pink flannel for the backing. I didn't know what I would do especially with the ugly green fabric.
Then I thought of a pattern I had in my file using Beatrix Potter fabric called Garden Tales. It would downplay the ugly green fabric and highlight the prettier fabric. I was able to add to it lots of leftover pieces from earlier Hugs quilts. I only had to use a few pieces from my own stash. Overall I was pleased with the final result. The pattern calls for rows of different designs. I changed one row from a picket fence type design to pinwheels and small fussy cut angels. The quilt was machine pieced and quilted in the ditch. I quilted a scallop design in the border.

An angel garden bustling with cute little girl angels hovering and spinning and darting about, thought I heard the sound of wings.
