    • Description

    Have fun making this lily pad wall hanging using lots of fabric scraps in green and blue watercolors. The background is foundation pieced (templated included in the pattern) in a color wash design and the lily pads are appliqued over top. The hint of color in the water gives the impression of a lily pond. Pattern includes full instructions for foundation piecing and fusible applique.
