The silk print used in this block has always been a favorite of mine. I
finally collected the tonal fabrics I wanted on this block and used
embellishments to add color.
Pat Winter hand-dyed the motifs for me and got just the right colorway.
Here is a diagram for how I pieced the block. Making sure to include a quarter inch seam allowance, piece in the numbered sequence shown. (1 through 9) |
