Kansas FlowerBack Cover Information

Renowned quilt historian and author Barbara Brackman presents captivating designs in the "Prairie Flower" series -Bittersweet, Dandelion, Wood Sorrell, Sweet William and more. A total of 12 applique patterns and three unique border patterns grace this book. Plus a fabric discussion, reading list and practical tips for fast, accurate patchwork.

Explore each pattern through the eyes of the pioneer women who lovingly wrote of the flora as they sought new lives on the prairie. It's a wonderful blend of instruction and history. Celebrate the first new patterns from The Kansas City Star in more than 40 years!
