We are using Granny Chic Fabric...

And Granny's Garden Sew Simple Shapes:)

Okay...Let's get planting!!

Sew Simple Shapes for Block Thirteen:

2 - I 5

4 - I 19

1 - I 20

Cut your stem 5" long

 and press one end under.

After tracing the I 19 shapes...

mark the center using the 

center marks on the shape.

Draw a line 1/4" away from the

 center mark on both sides...

or in other words mark two lines

 1/2" apart in the center.

These will be your petals for the flowers...

And you will need to sew

 on your newly marked lines too:)

After sewing...

trim...and cut an "X" 

in the interfacing for turning.

No clipping needed on any of these shapes.

Turn...shape and press. 

All ready for pinning and glue basting!

I used the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

 to check all of my basting placements.

Block Thirteen is ready for applique:)

Sew Simple Shapes for Block Fourteen:

4 - I 1

1 - I 25

1 - I 27

Besides the 9" Shabby Cloud circle

 you will need a 4" Shabby Cloud circle...

both using the Circle Ruler set.

You should have 8 - 4 1/2" squares

 cut for this block.

We are going to make another dresden 

just like I showed you last week...

except each square is scrappy:)

After marking your line on the back

 of four of the squares...

match them up like this 

to make 4 half square triangles.

They should each measure 4 1/2" square.

Make your pinwheel block like this.

It should measure 8 1/2" square.

Now to sew all of the shapes for the block!

Sewn and ready for trimming and clipping.

Make sure that the cleavage points

 on the dresden match up right on the seam.

Clip each cleavage on the dresden

 and the scalloped circle.

Cut your "X's" and turn.

Look how sweet this scrappy dresden is!!

I love it:) 

Shaped and ready for 

pinning and glue basting.

I started out with the center first.

And added that onto the green 

scallop circle and finally the

 dresden and onto the large circle.

Once again I used all of the lines

 on the ruler for placement.

I'll add buttons to this block at the end.

Block Fourteen is ready to applique:)

Sew Simple Shapes for Block Fifteen:

2 - I 10

5 - I 15

Use the 2" ruler from the set

 to make the flower center.

Cut your stem 6" long

 and press one end under.

Sew your shapes and after trimming

 clip both cleavage in each tulip shape.

Cut your interfacing and turn.

Just a reminder of how important 

this Point to Point Turner is.

This is what my shapes

 look like after turning.

There is no way that 

I could shape it without this tool.

I have tried many...

but this is by far my favorite

 and the only one that works for me.

I know I've told you this before 

but this is a close up of

 when I turn it sideways while

 GENTLY pushing out the points.

All shaped up...

 lined up and ready to go!

Stick in your pins...

And glue:)

Use your ruler for placement...of course!

And just like that...

 this cute little aqua flower is 

ready for planting/applique.

Sew Simple Shapes for Block Sixteen:

7 - I 3

2 - I 6

1 - I 20

Cut your stem 5" long 

and press one end under.

Sew...

Trim...

(no clipping needed)

Turn and shape!!

Under the ruler:)

Block Sixteen ready for applique:)

Please share your progress with us!
