Block No. 21 – The Fuchsia
(text)
The fuchsias in block No. 21 of The Modernistic Flower Quilt are like torches held flame downward; the pattern has not been printed upside down, as you might imagine if you were unfamiliar with this head-hanging flower.
The part next the stem is a deep red and the bell and petals a somewhat lighter red. The stitching on the latter is in thread matching the deeper red. The stamen stitching and that on the leaves is yellow.
Stems and the semi-circle at the bottom are green.
The color spots, largest first, are green, half-spot yellow, light red and dark red.
Next week: the zinnia.
Last week: Trillium
