The blocks below were made by Betty Barnes. She used crayons to bring these flowers to
life. All shapes are hand embroidered with matching floss. Black embroidery floss can also
add a dramatic effect. Embroidery helps define the shapes and makes the finished project
so much prettier. Betty used a Dover copyright free design for these blocks. She enlarged
the designs and then traced them onto fabric using the Me Sew light table. It is easy to
enlarge these to 22" x 22" or larger if you have a software program that lets you do a page
layout and also have a printer that tiles the pages, which most printers have.
Betty and I took her crayon art squares to the quilt store to audition the
sashing. The fabrics are so beautiful to choose from.
