“Petal Pusher”
-my entry for the Michael Miller Modern Quilt Guild Challenge.
45″ x 55″
When I started this challenge, I knew I wanted to incorporate the design of the main Petal Pinwheel focus print. I’ve also been wanting to challenge myself to draft and make a New York Beauty block, so the center of my blossom was decided. I machine appliqued the large petals using additional prints from the collection.
The background is Michael Miller Cotton Couture in Aqua. I added some grey Michael Miller prints from other collections to get a scrappy look for my leaves.

Wow, that is gorgeous!!!
Thanks, Ivy!
Love it…….as usual, you two. So the challenge you really ought to accept is getting around to that ugly quilt 🙂
It really is fabulous and I love the idea of using a NY beauty for the center. Good luck.
Wow! So beautiful! — Michele
As usual, beautiful work. I wouldn’t be surprised if you won the challenge again.
This is SO beautiful. The pictures just don’t do it justice. I’m so glad I have seen it live and in person.
Just gorgeous! Wow – such beautiful quilting…
SO stunning, Doris. I’m so happy I saw it up close and personal!
