Learn how to combine existing patchwork pieces and fussy cut floral fabrics to create stunning floral bouquet blocks. Inspired by 17th century Broderie Perse (Persian embroidery) quilting, Anna Maria Horner shows you how to create a modern interpretation of a "trompe l'oeil" bouquet using improvisational patchwork and applique. The architectural line work of this modern block is softened by the organic floral motifs, giving it a balanced and fresh look. “Mod Corsage” is perfect for anyone with patchwork experience who is looking to experiment with composition and color.
 
Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Various background fabrics in softer tones (Anna uses cream-colored fabrics)
  • Thread
  • Sewing machine

Did not provide enough detailed instruction on how to create the flower elements. It was more of a collect your already made items and piece together. It was not what I was expecting. Very basic.

I love The use of premade blocks and accents that was used in creating these quotes. I also like the three-dimensional affects. The creative way she made the background for the quilt is great. I look forward to trying my hand of using the blocks I've built in the quilt
