A beautiful hand appliquÃ©d, hand quilted quilt from the 1930âe(tm)s. T are 9 blocks (15-16 inch blocks) of a flower circle wreath with hand done, close blanket stitches used to apply the motifs. Blanket stitches are less than 1/8 th of an inch apart, sometimes stacked at crucial points. Then the maker stem stitched the veins in the leaves with green thread, and petals in the flowers with pink thread. She also quilted on these lines as well to secure the batting. T are 6 flowers and 6 leaves per block. Each pink flower has a cluster of hand embroidered French knots in the center. Whether on purpose, or because she ran out of green floss, one block has cream stitching on some of the green leaves. I looked at this a lot before I saw it.
