Auntie Green's Garden Progress

I've made some progress on the center medallion for my Auntie Green's Garden quilt.

I selected the colors to fit in with our master bedroom.  It will make me so happy to have an applique quilt for our king-sized bed.  Of course, it may be a few years before it's finished but I'm having fun in the process.

Auntie Green's Garden

For about a year I've been day-dreaming about making an antique quilt that I fell in love with the minute I saw it - Auntie Green's Garden.  I searched the internet to find the pattern only to learn that there wasn't one available.  I found a few possible leads but they all fell through.  One of the ladies I exchanged emails with suggested I try to draw the pattern myself.  I've been carrying that idea in my head for all of this time and finally decided to see if I could do it.  It's a large applique quilt so seemed like a challenge I wasn't sure I could handle.  Yesterday, I finally decided I'd give it a whirl and see if I could make it happen.  Here's my drawing of the center medallion and a picture of the antique quilt I saw and fell in love with.
