Calling all flower lovers! It’s time for a parade of patchwork posies in full bloom. Pick a Layer Cake (or fat eighths) and cultivate your own quilt garden of colorful blooms framed in a sweet checkerboard design.

Pattern Tidbits

I couldn’t help but mix in the Love Blooms collection with a few Magic Dot greens and greys for this Flower Press quilt! You can use a Layer Cake or fat eighths for the blooms + yardage for the leaves, flower centers, backgrounds, and accents. We use a combo of beginner techniques (half square triangles + easy corner triangles) so I would classify this quilt as advanced beginner skill level. I arranged all the blocks in a single directions, but you could play around and mix them up if you like!
