Spring Time Blooms
Spring has sprung and it's so nice to be part of the
Garden Party Blog Hop! I love to do foundation piecing and here is my block. I'm calling it 'Spring Time Blooms'..... The finished block measures 10 1/2"x10 1/2" (this includes seam allowance) It is made up of 2 1/2" paper pieced blocks. The blocks are sorta tiny, but that's the advantage to paper piecing, you can do those teeny tiny pieces fairly easily.... I have a couple of places that you can download the free pattern for this block.... it can be found on my
website or on my
Craftsy site.... both are FREE! You can also
Download the pattern here.
I'm also having a springtime giveaway! Leave me a comment about your favorite flower! That's it to get a chance to win some Bali Handpaint fat quarters from Hoffman Fabrics. If you want a second chance to win, follow me to and leave a comment that you do. Let's welcome spring and have fun with the garden party blocks! What will I do with my block, hummmm, I have a few ideas... I could make a couple more for a table runner. Or make a total of 20 blocks and add some sashing for an adorable lap quilt... or make a sampler garden quilt using all of the blocks from this months Garden Party Blog Hop.
So here is how I put together my Spring Time Blooms block....
 |
| I dug through my fabric scraps for the flowers, leaf and flower pot colors... I used a fat quarter of cream fabric for the background... |
 |
| Here I am working on the flower pot blocks, I used two fabrics for the flower pots. You can use only one if you want, or several, it's up to you! |
 |
| Sewing on the line..... |
 |
| I love the tulip block... isn't it cute! |
 |
| My 2 1/2" blocks are all lined up and ready to be put together. |
 |
| 'Spring Time Blooms' |
 |
| Leave me a comment about your favorite flower! That's it to get a chance to win a set of five Bali Handpaint fat quarters from Hoffman Fabrics. If you want a second chance to win, follow me too and leave a comment that you do. Wilson and I will announce a winner on May 1st. |
Have fun this month at the Garden Party!

I love your block! So cute!!! My favorite flower is the daffodil.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the bearded iris. They come in so many beautiful colors and color combinations. At one time I had 75 different plants in my yard. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteThis makes a pretty floral block. Paper piecing is the only way to go on making this but well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteI love this block, I am fairly new to paper piecing, but have found that I love it for the precision it gives-I'm a little OCD that way. My favorite flower is a pansy, always has been, always will be. Although I love all flowers, pansies have always been it for me.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, I came over from Jen @ Sewhooked (I follow her).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pretty block. My favorite flowers are orange roses.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flowers are yellow roses. Thanks for your tutorial and the opportunity to win your giveaway.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is lilac. I know, it's a bush, but it's still an awesome flower. Thanks for your awesome pattern! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI follow. Thanks for the cute pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the poppy. But the peony is a very close second.
ReplyDeleteYour tulips are so cute! In CA we have a place called Daffodil Hill where thousands of daffodils erupt every spring and it is amazing. I learned about it when I was teaching and showed videos to my students. Someday I hope to visit. "Daffodil" was my mother's camp name when we were Girl Scouts and she took us to day camp so it's sentimental for me. It's the first sign of Spring when daffodils bloom although this year with all the crazy weather, the poor flowers and trees are in a state of confusion as we are! Thanks for hosting the blog hop and offering such a great prize.

ReplyDeleteThat's such a hard question! The first flower that pops into my head is a purple pansy, but there are so many beautiful choices :) Thanks for sharing your pattern!
ReplyDeleteit would have to be peonies; my grandmother had a garden in front of her house and she had luscious pink, white and magenta peonies with fragrance that filled the air in early summer. i always think of her when i see them. i had some in my own garden when i owned a house; it's something i really miss about not having a garden.
