The Little Petals Patches quilt.

When I started making these petal blocks I decided that I wanted to give the impression of flowers climbing a trellis, thats the reason a nine patch was added to the Little Petals pattern.

I chose these beautiful Hoffman 1895 batiks in all the beautiful blues and greens and paired them with a black/charcoal batik, it really made the petals pop off the background.

For this quilt I chose the raw edge method of appliqué.
