Positivity 2023 - Flower Block Tutorial from Sew Preeti Quilts

This Flower Block will finish at 12" (width) by 10" (height). It is the exact same dimension as the Leaf Block. I had made an audition/trial block earlier. Based on that experience, I updated the method, which I am sharing in the tutorial.

Flower + Leaf = Audition Block

These directions show how to make the Flower Block using 2.5" strips. You may use scraps (that can be used to cut the pieces shown under Fabric Requirements).

January 2022 from Sew Karen-ly Created...

All I can say is...it's a good thing I don't make new year resolutions because if I did...I would have broken one by now!

In better news, there's a new quilt finish! This has been such a cheerful quilt to work on. Can't believe it didn't end up in the hoop much sooner. Totally sanity saving, believe me! Why do people tend to believe that yellow isn't a positive mood enhancer?

Always Trying to Get it Figured Out from Quilty Folk

Why are you even here? Didn't you know blogging was dead? hehe Don't you just love the people who write a post after being gone for 9 months, tell us how wonderful the blogging community is and how they're recommitting? Then after another post or two they disappear forever. We're like, 'Hey, come back here! We love you!'. But it's no use, they're off over at Instagram scooping up the 'likes'.
