Paradise Flowers
|
This book takes the patchwork route. Designs can be geometric or, if you prefer they can be created with a softer, more realistic look. Instructions for piecing cover both styles or a combination. These flowers can also be worked very effectively using other techniques, such as quilting, fabric embellishment, stenciling, stained glass and trapunto. Several techniques can also be combined within the same item.
