I ended up hand quilting around each "petal" of the block in a matching thread colour - I was going to do something different but I am glad that I went with this instead.
The back of the quilt is made up of a paper pieced block using a design by Leila at Where the Orchids Grow.
Because this is a local swap, hopefully it wont take too long for the minis to reach their new homes.

A local swap must be a treat for you! Love the retro flower mini. The handstitching is perfect for it.
Very pretty! I love the colors you used!
So cute! I love all the DS fabric in there. That chunky stitching has me swooning!
Love it!
So cute! Love the hand quilting!
Thanks for making such a wonderful two sided quilt. The effort you put into the two distinct sides is well appreciated!
