12 Inch Swap - Spring

Today I posted off my 12 inch quilt to my swap buddy.  The theme was 'spring' and to me spring used to mean getting out our beloved beetle, Molly and go for a drive with the top down.
So I hand drew Molly and the appliqued it onto a white background.  I then hand embroidered some flower stems and little daisys.
The next step was to make some yoyo's to be used as the flowers themselves.  Molly is then framed with some hand drawn flowers with yoyo's in the centre.
I hope my swap buddy likes this little quilt and the story behind it.
