America's Quilted Garden Blocks (Paperback)

From Alaska to Hawaii, every U.S. state has its beloved flower, and all have been made into quilts before. Since the idea of sewing state flowers onto quilts first took hold, these have been some of the most popular patterns of all time. Each 20 inch-24 inch original design flower block can stand alone as a wallhanging or be combined into a heritage project showing where a quilter's family members live. The basic applique and ribbon work techniques can be mixed and matched to suit every quilter's taste. The pattern CD includes a wonderful bonus-information on each state or territory such as its date of statehood, nickname, motto, state bird, state tree, and more. Students can rely on this information as a resource and quilters can use these tidbits to embroider and enhance their projects.
