Great fun to make! Did three different colours of waterlilies. Added a heart between two frogs, and a dragon fly on one of the waterlilies. Crocheted eyes rather than used buttons.

Blocked squares individually before joining them together with slip-stitch at the back.

Edging - back loop only double crochet. Was intending to do several rows, but when I spread it out after just two it looked really good so we decided to leave it like that.

Outdoor photos were taken in Golden Acre Park, north Leeds. Caused a bit of amusement to passers by! Shame there were no water lilies in the green house.

Some lovely comments on Freya’s facebook page when she received and posted about it. “You’ll have a lot of hugs from that one.” I hope it brought Freya comfort in the same way that the quilt she made for me when I was ill means so much to me.
