When I designed this sew along a 'Quilted Garden' was my inspiration. Week by Week we built the blocks that filled our quilt. Now we have a wonderful cottage garden!
If you love this fabric and want to make some companion items to your quilt, grab another kit while they are still available. I love this combo so much and can see it used for placemats, pillows, and a table runner.
** BUY the fabric for the asymmetrical layout

TIP:
- I carefully folded this fabric up so that I could cut all 4 of the pinwheel light fabrics. I really used up a ton of the fabric for this sew along.
TIP: Fabric Selection
- Using my Gemini die cut machine for this entire quilt gave me a huge appreciation for the time saving of cutting triangles.
- I cut
- Sew
- Press.
- PERFECT block (if your 1/4" seam is spot on)
- No trimming or squaring up, and the dog ears are eliminated by the die cut, Brilliant!
BUY A GEMINI Die Cut machine, I love mine!

TIP: Fabric Selection
- For the heart block I used a light fabric that I had enough of for the squares.
- The rest of this word text will be cut into 2.5" squares and put into My 'bonus' squares scrap storage bin by color for making 'quilts as I make other things' See my tutorial on that HERE
TIPS:
- Audition your square for directional fabric BEFORE sewing.
- Fold it back and check, so easy to do!
Your blocks are done, ready for doing the layout!
GOAL
- Here is what I have left from my working bundle.
- When the layout pattern came out in February I cut my green sashing and white border units and put them in a bag to use at the end.
- The rest of the fabric I can pick from to do the 4patch units
- The smaller pieces will be cut into 2.5" squares.
- I'll use the green for binding!
Next week I'll post to share your quilt top and leave that open for a month so everyone has time to get the top made. I will just be getting back so I may not have mine totally done, but will update when I do!
You can see Norm (Kit & Pattern HERE) on the left side with my tulips .. can't wait to work on this again!
I also announced the Next Sew Along, get the detail HERE
