C2C Potted Tulip Square

My mom’s favorite flower is a tulip. In Florida, they don’t grow quite like they do in cooler places, so we can buy them on Mother’s Day, but they don’t usually last very long. Over the last few years, I have tried to give my mom tulips that won’t die. I plan to make a throw pillow, but the square can also be used to create a blanket.
