SPRING IS HERE!!!! Time to CREATE your Flower Garden and what kind of a walkway you will have - I used tiny pebbles. I believe the "Hole in the Wall" block is the perfect block to showcase your gardens. Click on Link and scroll down to see the vimeo. http://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/b ... book/44071. Click on the Pause and Play button to start AFTER you OPEN a new window to follow along with the pictures of the instructions I included. Advance to 20:25 to see she begins the cutting directions. She makes a GOOF but doesn't realize it until she gets to 40:30. There you can see what she does. Your Background Fabric is cut Salvage to Salvage and ONLY for the Center Square and Side Rectangles of the blocks you make. Your Flowers are cut from your FQ's. DIRECTIONS FOR CUTTING ... Do Not Undercut and Watch Your Slightly Scant 1/4" SEAMS



Here is my picture. Center block with Bkgd fabric Sq's to 7.5"

* Flower Fabrics for the Center and the 4 Corners
* Use a Great Contrast for your Path's that make your flowers POP.
* PLEASE, PLEASE - NO SOLIDS or STRIPES
* Block size is 15.5"+ unfinished blocks
* DO NOT SQUARE UP.
* Attach a name label to the upper FRONT corner of EACH block

I have fabric but none are painted with flower and my printed fabrics have no real flower so not sure about that. I have grass and pebbles and sand! How about that.

[billizzy]

Roses, Lilies, iris is my favorite of all:)) Oh OH OH so interesting and springy I cant wait to see what is up your sleeve for April.

NO APRIL FOOLS )

The pebbles and grass fabric are back in Colorado. I like all the Texas wildflowers that are starting to bloom right now. Especially the Blue Bonnets. I know there is some great flower fabric at the quilt shop in the next town. Not sure about getting into any other projects right now.

Lyn - I know you have alot on your plate right now BUT keep watch. I think you will love the block choice

[WeSignificant]

And how long do we have to wait? You know I don't do that well!

[TeresaK]

At least till the end of the week???

Can you send me a pic of what flowers you have Valerie.

I am trying to figure out how to generate more Lotto Pals. I think Vinae and Chriss are making them to tired to make a couple of blocks. Hmmmm what to do????

[bethstreet]

I would have to use my stash and I have lots of fabric with flower prints not painted ones... I have made lots of those flowerpot guilt tops that use 4 or 5 inch squares . I don't have any stone, rocks, dirt or rock fabric that I know of.... my favorite flowers are roses, pansies, star gazer lilies, begonias, bouganvillia and on and on... I grew up with a mother with a really green thumb so I love just about all flowers...

[maryq]

I have flower fabric!

[WeSignificant]

No Teresa I can't send a Pic, camera is broke on my phone and the real camera is too complicated. Can't do a new phone right now, gotta save up. I have lots of florals though. And my SP just sent me two more!

I am trying to figure out the Painted and real part of the clue. Taken literally, I have none. But, do have lots of florals.
