Hearts and Vases Quilt

A corner of "Hearts and Vases Quilt"
The hearts are firstly appliqued to the background squares on point, and then the border is assembled. Borders are mitred - a must when using stripes.


Simple shapes add to the naive feel and blue leaves add a touch of whimsy


A simplified "Broderie Perse" technique is used for the applique flowers - motifs have been chosen with backgrounds to match, thus eliminating the need for detailed cut-outs.

    Great job Brigitte the tips will be really helpful. Wondered why you had been so quiet thought you must have been busy packing books. I so love the book, have heard really positive feedback about it.

    I use paper clips to hold the fabric firm while I am preparing the fabric and papers.
