Designed by Sandra Small Proudfoot for the moderately experienced quilter, this pattern first appeared in the August 1985 issue of Canadian Living Magazine under the name “Bower of Flowers.” At that time it consisted of 12 patterns representing the native plants specifically designated as provincial and territorial flowers. In the intervening years the Purple Saxifrage for the Nunavut Territory was added, and Quebec changed its flower to the Blue Flag. Patterns for all 13 current, official floral emblems are included in both the digital and physical versions of the quilt.
