Welcome to Week Eight of the 

Flea Market Flowers

We are using my latest 

fabric collection called

Flea Market

It's designed by me ... 

and produced and distributed by the amazing 

Riley Blake Designs:)

We are making my quilt

FLEA MARKET FLOWERS

76" x 86"

We are using my 

PIE RULER

to make all of the flower petals...

This set of my 

CIRCLE RULERS

for all of the flower centers...

And we are also using my 

SEED RULERS

for all of the leaves in the quilt.

First up today we are going to make 

BLOCK "B"

You will need to make three - 

6 1/2" Flea Market Flowers

using 3 different prints.

To make Block "B" you will also need:

6 - small leaves

  3 - 4" circles

3 - 1/4" stems cut 6" long

with one end pressed under 

Background cut - 14" x 20"

You will need to cut

 2 - 3" x 21" strips 

from EACH of the three prints.

From each print cut 16 petals 

to make the three 6 1/2" flowers.

Use the 4 1/2" and 7 1/2" lines

 on the Pie Ruler and alternate 

the ruler each time that you cut:)

Circles and leaves are sewn...

Flower petals...

And flowers!!

Press your background in half 

so that you can place the 

center flower right on that crease.

Lay your flowers out and then pin.

All three flowers together

 should measure 17" across...

Like this:)

And 11" tall:)

Add the centers...pin and glue:)

Ready for applique!!

I love these 3 little flowers in a row:)

Flea Market Flower

Block "B"

After applique trim it down to 

12 1/2" x 18 1/2"

It will finish at 12" x 18" 

after it's sewn into your quilt.

Now it's time to plant another flower!

 

Block "A"

You will need to make

 one - 15 1/2" flower 

using two different prints:)

To make Block "A" you will also need:

4 - large leaves

1 - 2" circle

1 - 4" circle

1 - 6" circle

1 - 1/2" stem cut 11" long

with one end pressed under 

Background cut - 20" x 26"

You will need to cut 

2 - 6" x 21" strips 

from EACH print to make 

the petals for the flowers.

Cut 8 petals from each print 

so that you have a total of 16.

Use the top of the Pie Ruler and the

 6" line on the Ruler.

 Alternate the ruler 

each time that you cut:)

As per usual...

I sewed my circles and leaves first.

Now it's time for the petals:)

Petals are all sewn and pressed...

And flower is complete.

It's a big one!!!

I used one large 

and two small design boards 

to lay out the background for this block.

I pressed my background 

in half so that I

 could center the flower easily.

I made my flower 23" tall 

from the bottom of the stem 

to the top of the flower tips.

I pinned all of the circles...

And finally the leaves!

I made sure that my leaves 

were not wider than my flower.

After pinning everything into place 

I used the Sue Glue and let it dry 

before removing the pins.

I truly love this big beautiful flower!!

BLOCK "A"

Thanks so much for joining me 

this week for the very last

 of the block tutorials. 

It's been a lot of fun

 "sowing" these flowers with you!!

I'll be back here next week

and I will show you 

how I trim down a block or two

to prepare them for

 sewing into my quilt:) 

I'll also show you the label

 that I made for the 

back of my quilt and how I made it

want to make one as well!
