Flower Block

 Welcome Summer! We just returned from vacation, and I'm amazed at how much the gardens have grown in just a week! My flowers are blooming, and everything looks so nice. My orange lilies are one of my favorites along with the coneflowers! The sunflowers are getting so tall, and I am looking forward to seeing them bloom. I love how their flowerheads follow the sun.  This week's block is a flower block which reminds me of a marigold or even a sunflower. You will make four of these blocks. They are a little putzy to do but well worth the effort. 

Each block will measure 8" x 8", this includes the seam allowance. 

Gather your fabric, pattern, ruler and rotary cutter and let's begin! 

From background fabric (5):
    Cut 80 – 1 ¼” x 1 ¼” squares (A)
From green fabric (13):
                Cut 16 – 3” x 3” squares (B)
From brown fabric (15):
                Cut 4 – 3” x 3” squares (E)
From gold fabric (12):
                Cut 16 – 3” x 3” squares

                Cut 16 – 1 ¼” x 1 ¼” squares (D)

Isn't it a happy block! Next time we will work on bumblebees!

Happy Stitching,

Cindy and Josephine
