I loved using the time plaid for the leaves.
The stem was an older reproduction from the Smithsonian.
It has been such a fun project, it does not feel like month 20!
I am anxious to get it quilted.
I have an idea where I want to hang it - maybe by winter?
OK, maybe next winter.
I sometimes have the urge to straighten out the little details in these blocks.
But I love the quirkiness of the subtle differences between the flowers.
The bit of red and the small bits of yellow, as in nature, make this a beautiful block.
You can see more beautiful photos on the blog and Facebook Page.

Happy Stitching,

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely magnificent! I love the green plaid leaves. I am happy to see that you are sticking to the original. I seem to be so far to the left with mine that it is refreshing to see yours bloom into a true reproduction of Esther's masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.
