Laurel Wreath Quilt - Leaflet No. 5
False Jasmine
Now try to find some small figured prints in lavenders and pinks, for this leaflet illustrates how to make the false jasmine flower in the center of the third Laurel Wreath.
In joining your third block to your second be careful to see that the leaves of this block (which should be 12 1/2 inch by 10 1/2 inch sized one) are partially covered by the leaves of the second or 10 1/2 inch square block. This makes a woven network of leaves that will remind you of the dappled effect of sunshine playing upon the leaves of a tree, throwing the patter onto the ground below.
Cut this design and transfer as shown in leaflets Nos. 3 and 4, using green for the stem and leaves, pink for the lighter portion of the flowers and lavender for the darker.
