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.

Fabric

You may remember the original “Flower Press” quilt in Love Blooms fabric, but I thought this design would be especially wonderful in the cozy blues, greens, and taupes of the True Love collection. Here’s the full materials list:

• (1) Layer Cake (25 squares 10″ x 10″) -OR- (13) fat eighths for the flower petals
• 1/4 yard flower center print (SKU #5230 44)
• (3) 1/2-yard cuts assorted leaf prints (SKUs #5230 65, #5262 15, and #5265 12)
• 2-3/4 yards navy (block background) print (SKU #5230 63)
• 1-1/4 yards light blue sashing print (SKU #5263 14)
• 1-1/4 yards cream sashing print (SKU #5230 61)
• 3/4 yard binding print (SKU #5230 63)
• 4-1/2 yards backing print (pick your fave print!)
• 81” x 81” batting
