| Fluer de Nine was supposed to become a quilt for the family Christmas exchange in 1999 but the family changed the rules. After making Kretsinger's Last Rose I needed something mindless to do, so I made the nine patches. After seeing "Bow Tie Bouquet" by Kathy Munkelwitz of Isle, MN in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, March 2000 #320, I knew the border would work with my nine patches. I appliquéd the border preparing the pieces with templar and spray starch. The borders were hand appliquéd first and then attached to the nine patches. |
