Spring is Exciting! I think of Sunny Days and bright breezes.
In the grocery store, I bought a beautiful, potted Blue Hydrangea. Suddenly I loved the spring flowers. Having it on my kitchen table has brought me so much happiness, I wanted to share it with others.
If you haven’t seen my homepage take a look. It’s all part of the theme!
I couldn’t resist sharing my original Blueberry (Hydrangea) Breakfast Cake recipe. I’m such a foody!
My mind raced to devise a quilt design on which to display a Hydrangea Pantograph. It’s been fun and I found that the emergence of the pretty spring flowers here in Kansas has lifted my spirits.
It’s really a simple design. Here’s how you do it.
1. Measurements for cutting flower block2. Sew squares for corners3. Trim corners4. Trimmed and pressed5. Pressed from front6. Finished flower – 9 1/2 “7. Measurements for chain block. 8. Piecing plan for chain – Piece large strips, then cut the 2″ sections. 9. Finished chain – 9 1/2″10. Pressed from back11. Pressed from front12. Arrangement of blocks
This could be adapted for pansies or any number of flowers in our gardens by changing the colors on this very simple pattern.
There are spring flowers everywhere I look. They bring the promise of re-birth and new days of peace and plenty. The world will become right again. Have faith!
