"Griffins in the Garden"

Half lion, half eagle, mythical griffins surround a bouquet of bejeweled flowers in this aptly named block, “Griffins in the Garden”.  Buttonhole stitches and fusible web anchor the griffins in place to keep them from flying off to Apollo, the sun god.  Elements of the central motif are fashioned off block using the prepared edge method of appliqué.  The flowers sparkle with beads and embroidered details.  Silken vines and ribbon work bring elegance to the 24”x24” design.  The block lends itself well to becoming the center of a spectacular medallion quilt!
