Hi there and welcome to my blog:)

This is Week Ten in our

Granny's Garden Sew Along

We are using Granny Chic Fabric...

And Granny's Garden

 Sew Simple Shapes

To make the Granny's Garden Quilt

This week's focus is on 

Flower Blocks 37 thru 40:)

Time to "sow"!!

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 37:

2 - I 3

2 - I 5

1 - I 17

1 - I 19

Cut the stem 5" long 

and press one end under

After sewing and trimming you will

 need to clip between the flower petals.

Shaped and pressed:)

Use the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

to center it while glue basting.

Flower Block 37 is ready for applique

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 38:

4 - I 9

1 - I 21

4 - I 26

Use the 2" Circle Ruler 

from the set for the flower centers.

Cut 4 stems 1 1/2" long

Shapes that need to be clipped 

in this block are the four flowers:)

Shaped and pressed and 

ready for pins and glue:)

Take advantage of all the lines on

 the ruler and center all of your shapes.

Flower Block 38 ready for applique

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 39:

4 - I 2

4 - I 15

1 - I 28

Use the 6" Circle Ruler from

 the set to make the Shabby Cloud Circle.

Cut 2 stems 2" long

(for some reason I cut 4 but only need 2)

You will need to clip the 

large scalloped circle and

 the tulips before turning:)

Shaped up and ready to go!

I did the tulips...leaves and stems

 on the smaller circle first...

Then added that to the scallop.

I used the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

to center onto the larger circle.

Flower Block 39 is ready for applique:)

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 40:

6 - I 20

1 - I 22

Use the 4" Circle Ruler from

 the set for the smaller circle

The only shape that needs clipping is the small flower on the center:)

Shaped and ready to go.

I used the ruler to line everything up

 and I cut the end off each petal 

to reduce bulk underneath the center circle.

Flower Block 40 is ready for applique.

After quilting I'm going to add some

 Cute Little Buttons

to this cute little block:)

After you have appliqued

 all of the circles...

applique them onto 

their background squares.

Whew!!

We are almost finished planting...

next week we will do the 

last two flower blocks

 and the border pieces.

Meet you right back here next week:)

Granny's Garden Sew Along - - Week Nine!!

Welcome back sweet gardeners:)

It's Week Nine of our

Granny's Garden Sew Along

We are using Granny Chic Fabric...

And Granny's Garden 

Sew Simple Shapes...

To make the 

Granny's Garden Quilt

This week we are planting 

flower blocks 33 thru 36

Let's start "sowing"

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 33:

8 - I 6

1 - I 23

Use the 2" Circle Ruler from 

the set for the center circle.

After sewing and before turning 

you will need to clip between

 the scallops in this flower:)

Turned...shaped...pressed...

and centered!

Flower Block 33 is ready for applique:)

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 34:

4 - I 7

4 - I 11

1 - I 21

There is no clipping for this block.

Simply trim...

Turn and shape:)

Pin it and then glue baste.

Use the small ruler to help 

with the center circle 

and use the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

to center the entire block:)

Flower Block 34 ready for applique.

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 35:

2 - I 2

2 - I 5

3 - I 15

Cut the center stem 7" long 

and press one end under.

Cut the side stems 2 1/2" long

 and cut opposite slant at the tops.

You will need to clip between the points 

in the top of each tulip before

 turning the shapes for this block.

Turned...shaped and pressed...

and all ready to baste!

Using the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

 really helps a lot 

especially with these blocks 

that have the split stems.

Flower Block 35 ready for applique:)

Sew Simple Shapes for Block 36 :

1 - I 18

1 - I 21

1 - I 27 

1 - I 30

Use the 4" Circle Ruler in the set for

 the smaller Cloud Shabby Circle.

There are three shapes that need 

to be clipped before turning.

The star...the scallop circle and the flower.

Shaped and ready to go:)

I started with glue basting the flower

 on the smaller circle and 

then scalloped circle.

 

Then glue basted that onto

 the star and large circle.

Flower Block 36 ready for applique:)

I'm going to add 4 Cute Little Buttons 

onto this block after quilting.

After all 4 circles are appliquéd...

 applique them onto their background squares.

Thanks so much for planting flowers with me! 

Join me back here next week 

for new flower block tutorials!
