Do you choose? Or do you have both?
I don't think I can pick between Perennials and Annuals, they both go in my garden.
I have a few tips below for you.
Fabrics I'm Using
BUY A KIT
THE DOWNLOAD is ALWAYS at the end of my article HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK, so keep reading
TIP: Working fabric
- I thought it would be interesting to look at all the fabric I have left to make the last 4 blocks. There is Plenty for 4 blocks.
- For me the fun is figuring out what I can use of this for each one since I'm making this quilt each week along with you, it's not planned out. It's a creative surprise each week. I have loved working like this on Block Wednesday, it builds our 'creative senses'.

Die Cut Shapes
- I decided to be very frugal on the cutting of the floral. I want to use the other leftovers in the last blocks. So I took the square from an edge that was nice instead of cutting a square out of the middle to center a flower. I'm good with this.
- And for the Triangles I layered the 2 fabrics right sides together and once again was careful with placement to have very little waste.
** BUY A GEMINI Die Cut machine, I love mine! **
TIP:
- I cut the skinny white strips from all the random white strips sections I had left from prior blocks.
- This is thinking like a scrap quiltier, look at what you have and cut for the pieces needed. Don't just cut into the new things, look at all the random parts for pieces that are big enough

My design wall is layered, you can see Christmas Fig underneath at the top. The Flower Bouqyet & the Christmas fig are my priorities to finish up and have tops ready to send out. Luckily with the sew along I have to make the blocks!
