Pieced Flowers

Ruth B. McDowell walks quilters through the craft of building flowers from pieced fabric. The book presents ten floral designs, among them rose, iris, lily, columbine and hollyhock, and offers three stylistic variations of each one.

For every design, readers get a full set of diagrams, charts, illustrations and template patterns, so each flower can be reproduced step by step. Alongside these materials, the author shares guidance on the construction process and explains the thinking behind the choices involved.

The volume is meant to pair with McDowell's earlier title, "Piecing: Expanding the Basics".
