Bridal Bouquet Quilt Pattern Scallops

At the left is the size for the scallops which are to be used at the sides of the quilt, and at the right is the size for the end scallops.

These designs may be used for size only in making the scallops which may be bound.

Of course, these may be appliqued, but this will present difficulties to many who will find that turning in the edges of the background material and the edges of the scallops almost too much for their patience. It would be much better to mark the scallops and have the binding made so that it will be the width of the design.

While the bindings and intersections are mentioned as being blue, these may be green or any other color which one prefers. Lavender would be attractive for this purpose; but, regardless of the color, the material should be plain.
