Herbarium

Deanna Street's red and green traditional applique top

Deanna's finished our applique block of the month for 2023

from the free patterns over at my CivilWarQuilts blog.

See a post on the patterns and the original inspiration here:

Susie Mullins

Both Susie and Deanna used traditional red and greens on a light background

but followed the more contemporary suggestion of piecing the

backgrounds into a four-patch.

Elsie Ridgley's clear bright range of color reflects

a mid-20th century take on applique.

Helen Vanderloop

Helen's lavender and grey---21st century

Kathy Suprenant

Kathy used a busy contemporary print

for otherwise traditional design.

Rebecca Schenkenberger

Rebecca's palette: clear, bright shades around the color wheel.

She added birds---always a good idea.

And here's our Facebook group---ignore the t-shirt ads, some relentless spammer has intruded.
