Here are my fabrics choices for today:)

We will be using 

A-6   A-8   A-9   A-11

From both fabric and Pellon:

Cut 1 - 3 1/2" x 5 for large oval

Cut 1 - 2" x 3" for small oval

Cut 2 - 2" x 3 1/2" for large leaves

Cut 2 - 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" for small leaves

Cut your background fabric 9" square

and prepare your stem 6" long.

1. Trace around the shapes onto the Pellon.

2. Pair up the Pellon with the fabrics... 

sew and trim.

3. Cut an "X"in the Pellon for turning.

4. Turn right side out...shape appliqués using the turning tool and Press.

Press your background square in half 

and place the stem in the center like this.

Place the oval by measuring down 1 1/4"

 from the top edge of your background fabric.

Place the bottom leaves

 1 1/4" up from the bottom edge.

And place the small leaves like this:)

Pin or glue baste everything into place

 and appliqué in your chosen method:)

Cut your border squares and strips...

And sew your 

#BloomBlockSixteen

I love the double leaves don't you?

Sew the fourth row onto your quilt and...

 admire all of your blocks that you have made so far. 

Only four more to go!
