Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Three - Vintage Flower Block!!




"VINTAGE FLOWER BLOCK"


Welcome to week three of the 
"BEE VINTAGE"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week 
when I will be doing 3 tutorials
 on three blocks for the quilt.

Of course because we are all sewing 
from all around the world  
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each 
Monday - Wednesday - Friday 
right here on my blog 
and you can follow my tutorials 
any time during the week that 
 is convenient for you.


We are making the 
Bee Vintage Sampler Quilt
71" x 84"
 
I've been getting ready for
when it was time to begin...
and now that time is here!!


The quilt is made with my fabric
 collection called Bee Vintage...
and a few other prints from my basics collections as well!

I hope that you all have all 
received your 
fabric kits by now...
 and that we are all ready to begin!!


If you still need one ...
just do a quick google search for 
"Bee Vintage Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.



We are also using the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes

I have already posted the
 post which details all of the supplies
 for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there 
for the free PDF Download 
of the Sew Along Guide

to download the sew along guide
if you have not downloaded yet. 



As per usual for the first block in my 
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs
 that FIRST tutorial is a video.

Because I now have my own  
 I have posted the 
 Vintage Strawberry Block
Tutorial there.

Last time we made the
VINTAGE UMBRELLA BLOCK
for that tutorial:)

Today we are making a flower!




Here is my Vintage Flower Block 
 All cut...traced and ready to go!

Here is a list of the
  Bee Vintage 
Sew Simple Shapes 
needed for this block:
4 - P-5
2 - P-28
1 - P-32
1 - P-62
1 - P-63




***TAKE NOTE***
That you will need to 
trace the P-32 shape in reverse.
I almost forgot but remembered
at the last minute and retraced it!

Cut your background  
12" x 12"


Now all are sewn and trimmed...
clip the cleavage in each heart shaped 
flower petal and clip inner curve in stem.
Now all are ready to turn!


Shaped...pressed and ready for layout:)


Here's the magic photo
 with all of the lines on the ruler 
that will help you for placement.


The flower from top 
to bottom of stem is 9" tall...


The petals are 7" wide...


And the entire flower 
with leaves measures 8" wide.


Pin and Glue!


Glue is dry now and ready for appliqué.


Applique and then trim down to 
10 1/2" square after pressing on the back:)
