Flowers on quilts go back hundreds of years, so this week I decided to share some flower quilts instead of just pictures of flowers. Quilt makers use many different techniques and I am fond of pieced quilts, so these are pieced.
"Summer Beauties" Ruth McDowell 2011 31” x 30”
Machine Pieced and Machine Quilted
Hand embroidered embellishments.
"Mum at Dusk" Letitia Chung 2007 56"W x 46"L
Machine Pieced (background), Hand Appliqued (flower), Machine Quilted
I photographed this quilt way back in 2007 at PIQF. I think it is an exceptional image of a chrysanthemum.
“Summer Lily” Ruth B. McDowell 2004 58“W x 70”L
