Oh, WOW!!

All Floral Cross block designs can be modified over and over, to create a very wide variety of blocks for use in quilt designs. In most of my quilt designs using the result of twisting and turning a basic Floral Cross it is hard to find a basic Floral Cross.

The centre block of the first design is nearly a basic cross, but with a little bit of extra.

The two designs have a mixture of borders using the same flower as all the other blocks, but modified to do a different job.

The first is my favourite ...

There are no blank blocks, but there is room to add some butterflies fluttering around, either appliqued or quilted.

The second design is very interesting too, and though there is less space for butterflies, they could be joined by a fairy!

No favourite today … love both designs.

Very fiddly … I would be tempted to machine embroider the blocks for this one.

Less blocks in the second design, but would still at least think about machine embroidery!

Yesterday’s designs were fiddly … these are too, but they would be pretty on the bed.

The first design was a fee range garden, the second design a much more formal garden.

Oh, so pretty!

I think these designs would make great machine embroidery designs … could be a fun experiment.

I think my favourite is the first one, but maybe not.

I can only dream of an orderly garden, but I can keep virtual gardens neat and tidy.

Love the first design.

I like the second design too.

Very pretty.

Note the pale pink border fabric … if I was using that fabric in a real quilt border I would cut it so that the pattern looked like the top and bottom borders … or the side borders.

In Electric Quilt all I had to do was click a couple of times to get the fabric the right way round.

I love the second design, and love the colours!

I have been trying to find a name for these flowers for quite some time. Floppy Petals is the best I can come up with. Any ideas welcome.

Love the second design.
