If you walk the front path to Anna Maria Parry's home, you’ll be greeted by a host of perennials: hydrangeas, dahlias, and echinacea. It’s a symphony of color and pattern. (As pretty as a quilt…) Those blooms inspired Anna Maria’s most sought-after quilt pattern, and today she’s here to show us how to make it. This block is all fussy cut flowers and easy appliqué. We’ll learn two methods—needle-turn and machine appliqué—and finish enough blocks for a fabulous floral pillow!
