The 2023 applique Block of the Month is Herbarium, above blocks from Becky Brown's lovely top.
She's using the "Official Set." See a post here and scroll down.
The stories are about students, teachers and the mid-19th century female science curriculum which
made "botanizing" popular --- probably influencing the affection for botanical applique.
Our 12 blocks are based on 8 similar quilts from perhaps the 1850s.
