FLOWERS IN POTS ANTIQUE APPLIQUE QUILT
   

 



Wonderfully complex organization features the floral blocks set on point to challenge viewers to figure out where the block actually begins and end. This ssomewhat stylized floral tles; the three stems are placed in a folky handled pot or vase, a format known to be popular in Berks County PA.  Trying to find out if this has a documented title, or if this is a one of a kind variation of the triple format. I love that is is fully borders with a serpentine bud vine border, making it easier to hang for display, even turned as a diamond. More photos to follow
