Add the Victorian Flower Garden Quilt IV Expansion pattern - with an applique wrought iron gate to sash and border your lovely garden of flowers to make the Victorian Flower Garden Quilt IV. Bring a touch of Spring & Summer inside. Create this block and turn it into a pillow or make it as a block to fit into a quilt.
See other blocks available here.
Apple Blossom is a smaller-scale applique project with simple shapes - perfect for beginning quilters and appliquers.
Pattern includes all three directions for creation.
- Reverse applique by hand
- Reverse applique by machine
- Mix the two for extra 3D effect: reverse applique the stems and leaves, then applique the flowers to make them really pop.
Look for the Victorian Flower Garden Quilt IV Expansion pattern coming in June 2016 - with an applique wrought iron gate to sash and border your lovely garden of flowers.
