Small Elly-inspired piece

Mom's mantel, originally uploaded by Mellicious.

I'm trying to remember the story behind this little quilt. Mom took an Elly Sienciewicz class (am I spelling that right?) a number of years ago - maybe 8 or 9 years ago. She started this in the class, but what I'm not sure about is which part of this they did in class. It may be the little dimensional flowers in the corners.

(She's also been collecting green glass for several years, you can see a couple of pieces there.)
