The quilt uses one of my favorite fabrics, by Rober Kaufman, which works flawlessly in this One-block Wonder pattern.
The title of this quilt was inspired by vegetation I saw in Portugal during our anniversary trip in 2011. We visited Algarve and the “end of the world” in the spring when all the flowers were in bloom. It was like a carpet of colors, shapes, and sizes, and this quilt depicts this so well.
