The quilt is made with my fabric
collection called Mercantile:)
We are piecing all 25 blocks
and then turning them into a
12" circle to applique onto a
4-Patch Block background!
I detail all of the supplies
that you need to make the quilt in my
Bee Prepared post right here on my blog.
I have already posted the
post which not only details
all of the supplies needed but
explains how this sew along works.
I have also given the links there

Today we are making the
FLOWER POT BLOCK
Here's mine all cut and ready to sew!
Cutting each block is easy peasy
because of the sew along guide
that is provided for you.
We need to make eleven
half square triangles for this block.
Four using "G" squares and
seven using "F" squares.
Use "A" squares for the background
of both and draw double lines
onto the back of the "A" squares.
*Take note that you will have one
half square triangle leftover
because of the uneven number needed.
Use the 2 1/4" Trim-It Ruler
to trim them down to size...
All trimmed up...
Let's sew them into 3 DIFFERENT segments.
Sew the first one together like this...
The second one like this...
And the third one like this.
Press all seams open and use the
4" Trim-It Ruler
to trim each segment if needed.
I'm adding my leftover
half square triangle
to my scrappy stash:)
Next add the "E" square to your
design board but before you
sew them together
mark a line from corner to corner
on both of the "B" squares.
Set one aside to use at the end
and then use one to make a
half square triangle with
the "E" square for the basket.
Press the seam open
after cutting off the excess.
Use the 4" Trim-It Ruler
to trim up if needed.
Now lay out on your design board like
this so that we can sew our basket together!
Now we can add the last easy corner triangle...
Like this.
Press it towards the triangle.
Back of my block:)
Add the borders and make your circle!
I lined up the horizontal line on
my interfacing about 1/4" above the
bottom 2 aqua half square triangles.
Circled!!
Sew your 4-Patch Block:)
Ready to go!!
I did the same thing when centering
my circle onto the 4-Patch...
1/4" above the bottom half square triangles.
Pinned and Glued...
And ready for applique!!
As per usual...after applique
trim it down to 14 1/2" square
using the 14 1/2" Trim-It Ruler.
*Continue to line up the seams
in the block
with the lines on the rulers that
go both ways...straight and diagonal
for easy peasy centering!
And now we have 16 blocks completed!
I hope that you will love
sewing YOUR sixteenth sampler block
for our sampler quilt...
and then turning it into a circle!
I'll meet you right back here
on my blog next Monday for the
Cross Roads Block tutorial...
