I have been working on lots of little projects lately, such is the lure of sunshine, Olympics and children underfoot, and so time at the sewing machine has been somewhat limited, but these were top of my 'Big' list...
These are not enjoyable blocks to make; I hate pressing seams on a good day, and these are a blinking nightmare. It's the extra sashing between the petals - I could crank out simple drunkard's path blocks all day, and I probably will, someday soon, but these - never again, if I can help it!
However I love, love, love how they look; I love that these are made using my precious Denyse Schmidt stash and I love that I can now visualise the quilt I will be making.
I see many happy hours ahead arranging and then re-arranging these blocks!
Really love the single pink flower!
ReplyDeleteThese look great and the pink one is my favourite too. Have fun with the arranging.
ReplyDeleteThey maybe buggers to sew but they rock all made up! Happy arranging x
ReplyDeleteJust one pinky then? Or are there more to come? Great fabrics - enjoy the arranging!
ReplyDeleteBut they are so pretty, and that pain in your ass will go away soon!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeletehahaha well for all the problems and trouble, they're stunning -- I remember thinking the same thing when I worked on my retro flowers, but they fabulous, great work! :)
ReplyDeleteOh don't tell me that they are a terror to make. I was going to start mine this weekend but am holding off. Love them though. They do look great!
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing! The pink works well with all the blues =D
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Jxo
ReplyDeleteSometimes the thing that cause us the most grief give us the most pleasure! Great retro flowers!
ReplyDeleteThey may be a bugger to make but they look great!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful. Please keep plugging along. It will be so worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteThey do look fantastic though, keep at it :o)
ReplyDeleteThey look so beautiful together!
ReplyDeleteWell, glad you pushed through because it is beautiful! I love the combo of fabrics you chose!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you carried on because these blocks are stunning
ReplyDeleteLooking fab, but definitely not something for me to copy!
ReplyDeleteThink it's going to be worth all your efforts tho.
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous though! Thank you for making this quilt so I can see how pretty it is without having to do it myself ;-)
ReplyDeletei love that wee pink one! xo
ReplyDeleteI am loving this! I can't wait to make one.
ReplyDeleteThey look so lovely! Too bad you didn't like to make them!:))
ReplyDeletethese are gorgeous, love the one pink block. and I think those sashing bits are why I never got more than 2 sewn.
ReplyDeleteSeems fine to me how it's shaped like a four-leaf clover. Sounds like a good idea for flower pattern designs. I've chosen some personal favorite and they all come in good flower art.
ReplyDeletelove love love that odd pink one! I may have totally pinned this as soon as I saw it ;-)
