Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Five - Vintage Corsage Block!!

"VINTAGE CORSAGE BLOCK"

Welcome to week five 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"

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

"BEE PREPARED"

 for the sew along and how it works.

Today we are making a cute corsage!!

Here is my Vintage Corsage Block 

 All cut...traced and ready to go!

Here is a list of the

  Bee Vintage 

Sew Simple Shapes 

needed for this block:

1 - P-7

8 - P-29

1 - P-62

Cut your background  

12" x 12"

and press in half both ways 

so that

you can center the corsage:)

After sewing and trimming up the

 seam allowances you will need

 to clip the cleavage  

between the flower petals:)

Shaped and ready for arranging:)

I glued the flower 

center onto the flower first:)

Because this is a symmetrical design ...

I was able to use the lines 

from my pressed background 

to begin placing the leaves first.

From point to point of leaves they measure

 9 1/2"wide and also 9 1/2" tall.

Then the flower goes in the center!

Use this photo and the lines on your 

10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

to help you when arranging your corsage:)

Pinned and glued...

All ready for applique!!

Of course this goes without saying 

because I said this in the first video

but let me mention it again...

applique in the method that you

 like the best because

YOU are the BOSS of your own quilt:)

After you have appliquéd...

 press your block from the back 

and trim it down to 

10 1/2" square to sew into the quilt.
