You’ll Need:

• 1 yard of wool for the background
• 1/2 yard of 6-8 colors for appliqué
• 1 yard coordinating Marcus Fabrics cotton print for backing and binding

Cut and Assemble:

Cut background fabric to desired finished size. The sample shown is approximately 22” square. Cut out an assortment of appliqué pattern pieces in your chosen colors. Use the designs as desired - feathers can be hearts, hearts can be hills, wings can be flowers.

Be creative! It is your floral fantasy to arrange as you like, or use the photos as a guide. Back and bind the quilt with the print fabric.
