The Balkan Quartet folk embroidery pattern is a charming quartet showcasing four classic motifs of traditional Eastern European folk embroidery: a cross-and-tulip, an eight-pointed star, a peacock feather, and a tulip motif. Worked in a traditional black and red palette with coral and blue accents, this makes a delightful small square, cushion cover, or wall hanging.
