I find it so exciting to reveal the full quilt after a fun sew along. It's even more exciting to see what you and everyone else has done, it's  party time!

For me, my Block Wednesday 'A Flower Bouquet' was a much needed breath of spring during the winter as we sewed up beautiful light and airy blocks. 

And now it's time to wrap it up with a finish!

I decided to do my border with the grey polka dot and lighter scraps 4-patches. I wanted the border to keep a light feel with the white.

TIP:

• If you want a larger quilt, I'd had another sashing, then a border. 
• My favorite option for an extra border is  THIS FLORAL that I used in the quilt.

Facebook Live

• When I was taking Photos I did a short Facebook Live in my backyard
• Do you love quick little live videos? I had fun with it and might do more if you like them, let me know in the comments.

Here is my Fireside chat too!

Setting Thoughts:

• My goal was to keep the quilt very light in feel.  
• Now that you have your whole quilt together take a photo.
• Look at your color placements to learn what you like and don't like
• For mine I love that I put little bits of the light yellow and dark yellow in each block.
• My goal was for the deep plum fabrics to be a hint and not overwhelming.
• I love the peach plaid and if I were to make it again I'd add more of it. 

This quilt is My dream of sewing a garden during the winter, thank you so much for joining me!

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.

THE DOWNLOAD is ALWAYS at the end of my article HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK, so keep reading

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! 

** LAYOUT PATTERN

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
