As I'm writing this giant snowflakes are coming down, it's so pretty! I dug into my fabric for this quilt to get block 5 sew up.
When to Garden is this week's theme! It's about our gardening personality, not timing of plants.
What's with the 2 small blocks? Let me tell you!
- This is my first week with the smaller size blocks that will be used in my asymmetrical layout.
- I have a BONUS layout to make a 12" block
- I will be publishing 2 layouts for this sew along. My Primary layout is asymmetrical. The Bonus layout is a very simple setting that uses all 12" blocks.
For the block this week I have photos with die cutting tips.

Fabrics I'm Using
- There are still kits if you love the fabric I'm using.
- BUY A KIT
- For the 9-patch block I used some of the small floral pieces left from Block 4 fussy cutting.
- Added in a purple, every garden needs purple! I have purple coneflowers and a purple butterfly bush in mine.
- I folded the purple strip so that I can cut the 5 needed all at one time. This fold makes 6 as it was more effective that way. I'll save the last one or just put in my 2.5" scrap system.
- Position the square die on the purple
- And put through the machine for 6 squares at once, LOVE that!
- Another tip for being efficient. I need both squares and triangles for the shoo fly block. Do them together with just one pass through the Gemini machine.
- I did white first, then the purple.
- Make ONE of each for the Asymmetrical layout & sew together
