Blooming on my wall

I've finished hand appliquing these two scrappy flower blocks,
measuring 17 by 20,
the perfect size to make a bag to replace this

made by my mother nearly 30 years ago.
I think those folded stars are back in vogue again.

Here's the other side, showcasing her hand quilting.
Or...

I could put them together with my other hand appliqued blocks
and leftover bits

for a bigger quilt.
Those two blocks in the middle with the white and brown still have freezer paper attached.
I have lots of parts left from my modern posies quilt.
This could be fun!

Ha! good to see the folded star. My friend and I made one years ago and swore we would never make another - once was enough. I made mine into a cushion which I promptly gave to my sister-in-law. The flowers are so much nicer and more modern.

Oh, I hope you go with the "use the pieces and parts" approach . . . .
