Peony for the Herstory Project

I'm continuing work on the Pearl S. Buck quilt, and was thinking about different elements I want to applique onto it. One of her books was called "Peony", and the peony is also a common decorative image seen in Chinese art, textiles, vases, etc. I thought it was a perfect addition! So I drew it in pencil and used watercolors to finish it. I used my copier to print it onto fabric, and stitched it down. More later on this project. . .
