BLOCK 47. HEROINES CROWN: CHOOSE YOUR OWN

47.  Heroines Crown: Choose Your Own

This block is all applique, which I love to do.  Placement is important here to get the swirl effect.  I used scrapes again.  The Center green portion is appliqued and then the embroidery is put on for segment effect.  The circle was made with a plastic circle template.  I left the template in while appliqueing it down.  This made for a very crisp circle.  I fussy cut the circle fabric to center a flower.

The applique block is from Ruth Finley's 1929 book Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them.
