Wildflowers - Farmhouse Quilts

This is the 5th book in the Farmhouse series. The overall style of the book and the techniques used are the same as explained for the first four books. The theme for this book is flowers - all kinds of flowers. Shown in the upper right section of the cover is a wonderful version of the traditional pieced lily quilt. This quilt combines the pieced lily using scrap fabrics with wool applique stems & leaves. All around the edges are little embroidered bouquets with colorful wool "flower dots". Also included in the book is another version of a pieced lily in a basket. These lilies are combined with traditional 9-Patch block and are made from colorful scraps pieced with a wonderful indigo blue background. This is a dramatic quilt done in bold, strong colors and makes a strong "statement" on a wall or a bed. There are many flower projects in this book ranging from mini quilts & wall quilts to the bed quilt, pillows, little framed pieces, and adorable little wool flowers planted in painted wooden spools (great gifts for your quilting friends!) A touch of spring all year long!
