  Broderie Perse: Lovely Applique of Persian Chintz Motifs
Broderie perse is sometimes called chintz quilting as often flowers and other motifs from glazed chintz were used.
Although the art of broderie perse was developed in England early in the eighteenth century, it wasn't long after American women were settled on these distant shores before they began to carry on the tradition of broderie perse.
As we look at the evolution of broderie perse in America we find that the earlier examples were often done in a medallion pattern with an arrangement of flowers or other objects in the center often with circling flowers or vines.
