• For light background I used this very pretty floral. For the die cut machine I'm able to so all of these in one pass
• I layered 4 at a time.  

• On pass #2 I used the HST side to cut the additional squares
• And have a new piece for the larger squares. 

• I fan folded a strip so there are 8 layers for the gray squares
• All 8 cute at once!

• When using the die cuts, the triangles are the perfect size
• The corners are already clipped
• So you just sew an accurate 1/4" seam, press open, and you are done!

• I use my design boards ALL the time.
• my background fabric looks like new spring flowers coming up. Can you tell I'm ready for spring?

BUY Design boards, they are the BEST!

Pat's FREE 'A Flower Bouquet' Block #5

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies

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
