Here is my version of paper pieced Columbine flowers. I researched the colors online before I made them, Columbines come in all different colors. I'm pretty pleased with it although it is far from perfect. I'd like to enter it into the local quilt show in July and see how the judges feel. It was a lot of fun to do, but very tedious at times with around 100 pieces per flower. I'll make a black binding on it and hopefully that will bring out the colors and the border fabric. I hope you like it too!
