No, I wasn't attracted to this pattern because of its name!
It was more the lovely pots of appliqued flowers!
I saw the original quilt in a quilt shop recently and just
had to buy the pattern!
It's by Irene Blanck of Focus On Quilts.
I made all the background pieces first and may, or may
not, stay with this layout.
But it is good to have a plan and a record of it.
The slow sewing is very relaxing!
I often prep the blocks in the daylight hours....
and stitch away in the evenings!
I'm limiting the colour palette to blues, aquas, greens,
yellows and light oranges
I listened to this wonderful audiobook while stitching
this block.....
Looking at these now I am wishing I had varied the
placement of the flowers or leaves in each block,
maybe curving them in the opposite direction.
Maybe I will do that with the next ones!
Happy sewing,
SUZ
