Happy Flower Garden Quilt Along – Week 9 – Add Sashing and Cornerstones

IMG_6211

Welcome to Week 9 of the Happy Flower Garden Quilt Along! This week we will be finishing our quilt tops! Yay!

If you are sticking to the pattern, we will be adding sashing and corner stones in between all of our blocks. You could go with sashing the same color as your background fabric, or something totally different!! It all depends on how you want your quilt to look.

I like using cornerstones, it helps you line up your blocks and gives your quilt another design element.

With my original Happy Flower Garden quilt I used the background fabric for my sashing.

The second Happy Flower Garden Quilt I made, I used a beautiful floral for my sashing!

You could leave out the cornerstones and make long sashing strips. I’m excited to see what you all chose to do!!

I will be filming a LIVE Video Today, Tuesday June 26th at 10:15 am PDT (West Coast USA) in the Facebook Group! I will be going over how to put you quilt top together and answering any questions you have. The video will be saved for later viewing.

Happy Flower Garden Quilt Along – Week 7 – Corner Tulip Blocks

IMG_6190

Welcome to Week 7 of the Happy Flower Garden Quilt Along! This week we will be making 4 Corner Tulip Blocks (for every size).  It’s not too late to join in the fun! Download your pattern here!

This Corner Tulip Block is super simple and goes together quickly. Make sure you have trimmed all of your Half Square Triangles to the correct size.

You will want to nest your seams so they interlock. To do this, you will press your seams in alternating directions. Then the strips will fit together like a puzzle.

I am loving seeing all of your finished blocks in the Facebook group and on Instagram!Make sure to share your progress photo’s on Instagram with the hashtag #HappyFlowerGardenQA Or Post your photo’s in the Facebook Group!!

I will be filming a LIVE Video Today, Tuesday June 12th at 10:15 am PDT (West Coast USA) in the Facebook Group! I will be going over how to make this Corner Tulip block and answering any questions you have. The video will be saved for later viewing.
