SVBAQ Update: Peony

I love peonies, especially the white ones with the tiny pink centers. They remind me of my Nana. I love having them on my table on the deck in the spring when we are dining outside. My husband has an ant phobia so we don’t bring them in the house! As with a few previous blocks, I took a few liberties with this one.

Please take a look at all the wonderful peony blocks this month on the Shenandoah Valley Botanical Album QuiltBlog.

  2. Your block is gorgeous. Can't get enough of your cheddar background!
    Had to laugh about your hubby's ant phobia--because I share it. In fact, though I love the flowers, I don't even grow peonies because of the all too strong memories of my Mom's peony bed literally crawling with red ants. : )

    Your block looks great and hooray for taking pattern liberties.
