Fabric - Fat Quarter - Bi-Color Zinnia
The zinnia plant, both flowers and leaves, were used by many southwestern tribes as medicinal and ritual herbs. Some have said that the Navajo tribe considers the zinnia one of the sacred life medicines. Still other, Pueblo, tribes are thought to believe the zinnia a symbol of wisdom. We do know, however, that zinnias were used by some southwestern tribes to make brightly-colored dyes and paints. The zinnia, itself, is representative of lasting friendship, constancy, affection and goodness. Generally speaking, red and white flowers stand for unity. Of course, with this glorious bloom, it would be the "unity" of constancy (for red) and goodness (for white). From 1931 to 1957, the lovely zinnia also had the distinction of being the Indiana State Flower. It was replaced by the peony in 1957. This delightful, sunny bloom is replicated in a brick-pattern tiling across this delightful "fat quarter" of fabric. Fat quarters offer a lot of versatility. Whether you are sewing pillows, doll clothing, or a patchwork quilt, this stunning fabric brings beautiful color and a touch of nature to your creations.
