It’s a Classic Kinda Day: Flower of Spring
Morning, everyone!
It’s that time of week where we create a new block from my Classics range. This week’s block is Flower of Spring.
To create this block you will need the following templates.
The template kits for all my Classics are available through Sue Daley stockists and can be bought directly through Patchwork With Busyfingers. This block should measure 12½” when pieced together (12″ finished).
Many of these blocks can be machine or hand-pieced, depending on your preferences and what you feel most comfortable with. I personally prefer to hand-piece these blocks.
Following the hand piecing instructions sew 4-A pieces together as shown in the diagram.
Finger press the seams.
Sew the 4-C pieces to the A piece as shown in the diagram.
Finger press the seams.
Sew 1-D piece, 1-DR piece and 1-B piece together as shown in the diagram.
Press carefully.
Sew 1-E piece and 1-ER piece to the BD-DR piece as shown in the diagram.
Make 4
Press carefully.
Sew the 4-C-CRD pieces to the corners of the block as shown in the diagram.
Finger press the seams.
The block should now measure 12½” square and look like this once complete.
As I have mentioned in my earlier posts, feel free to experiment with your own fabric placement. Here are some basic quilt layouts you can try.
I would love to see your work, so remember share your creations using the #suedaleyclassics hashtag on social media.
