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

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

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

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.
