    This fabric is so beautiful. I think I would have enough to use it in a Floral Sripture hug Quilt. I make these to give to ladies that are going through treatments and illnesses that can't have live flowers. I alternate scripture blocks with different floral blocks. Thank you for a chance in winning your giveaway.
