From the Group: This is a lap quilt or wall hanging, 45" X 60". Here in Jordan, the American Women of Amman stage an annual fund raising event using the national flower as the theme: The Black Iris. We wanted to make something very special that each of us could contribute to. We had a number of newbies and experienced quilt makers. The lesson was applique and putting a quilt together.
Everyone used the same pattern but different fabrics, and some were hand dyed. The cornerstones on the sashing are machine embroidered in a tiny iris plant. It is both machine and hand embroidered. The finished quilt will be auctioned off to the highest bidder to raise money for our charity activities. Though it is an American club, in the photo are ladies from Jordan, Peru, and Sweden as well as the US.
