Cathy's art nouveau block almost done
I need to run some beads along the cording on the pleated braid bottom right and finish a dragonfly button but then it will be done.... The voluminous folds on her dress suggested an iris to me before the block even got here... I did the scalloped seam treatment to echo the yoke on her dress...

OMG, this is so beautiful. Opulent, dramatic, classy. I LOVE IT!! And I love that Morris wanted to add his contribution, too, LOL. I'll always treasure this block!! Hugs, Cathy
