framed each quilted flower with channel quilting 1⁄2" inside the white print and white floral squares. Vicki’s curved quilting in the A block rectangles and crosshatching in the B block rectangles added texture and keeps the eye moving across the quilt. Debbie Tribble machine-quilted medallion motifs in the blocks and an arc design in the border.
