NEW APPLIQUE DESIGN!! CHICAGO A strong vertical design that would work best in the
lower corners of a curtain panel. It's abstract pattern is
inspired by the stylized geometric motifs of the late Prairie
School. Choose any color scheme. We recommend doing
the stitching in a different color from the applique shapes,
for example, in terra cotta with antique gold stitching.
Slanted rectangles are 2" high x 1 1/2" wide, length of
horizontal and vertical lines customized proportional to curtain panel.
