Heading in to April I'm ready to start some planting, but it's really too soon, this morning it was only 32 degrees, brrr!
Our front mulch is down, thank you Shipping Department! And I'm READY to plant .. but need to wait. Next best thing is a visit to the Garden Center, so our 14th block celebrates that Heaven on Earth filled with lovely flowers!
I have a few tips below for you.
Fabrics I'm Using
- There are still kits if you love the fabric I'm using. This bundle makes me so happy to be working with it!
- BUY A KIT
THE DOWNLOAD is ALWAYS at the end of my article HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK, so keep reading
- I had a few questions recently about how I cut into fabrics from kits. My main answer is to ONLY cut what you will need.
- I never cut edge to edge, that is wasteful. Unless a pattern tells you to do that, cut only what you need. This is what my fabric looks like at this point. And I'll be using up almost all of that dark purple.

For the center I layered the fabric right sides together so I could cut and sew.
For the rest of the blocks I layered the word print and the purple to cut all the triangles.
There is very little left of the purple.
I think about the shape I'm cutting and how I can layer it for effective use. My video shows you how I did some of the triangles from the corner of the fabric.
