Quilts Inspired by Nature - the design process


I'm going to use the Hellebore quilt to illustrate the process I go through. I have a mostly part-shade garden in which these plants - commonly called lenten Rose - seem to be happy. I've added several varieties including some of the newer ones that hold their flowers erect - most varieties have flowers that hang down. Flower colors can vary a lot - cream, light green, pale or deep pink - and leaves change spring green to dark green as the age.

Here's one photographed in April.
