Welcome to week four of the
HONEY BEE GARDEN SEW ALONG
to download the free sew along guide
for this quilt.
to read my Bee Prepared blog post
and find out how my sew along works!
We are making the
Honey Bee Garden Quilt
which finishes at
72" x 86"
To make the appliqué blocks,
we are using my
Sew Simple Shapes called of course...
Honey Bee Garden!
The collection that we are using
for the quilt is...
GENTLER TIMES!!
I also did a tutorial here on my
blog for the flying geese
in all of the borders.
to visit my week one blog post:)
Flower Blocks
#5 - #6 - #7 - #8 - #9 -#10
for Week Two
Last week we made the Flower Blocks
#11 - #12 - #13 - #14 - #15 - #16
for Week Three
Today for Week Four,
we are planting the last 6 flower blocks!
Here are my Flower Blocks
#17-#18-#19-#20-#21-#22
all cut traced according to the
directions in the Sew Along Guide.
Ready for a sunny morning of sewing!
Ready - Set - Sew!
I've separated the shapes that
need inner curves and cleavage areas
clipped from those that do not.
The shapes that do not need clipping
are placed to the left and I keep the ones
to the right that need it.
Next step is trimming all of the seam allowances on every shape...
and then clipping those shapes
that need it and cutting
the interfacing for turning.
Three blocks are shaped...
And three more!
Now it's time for glue basting:)
I'll show you each individual block under
the 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler...

After you applique each block,
Press it from the back and then
use the 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
to trim your block down
before you sew it into your quilt:)
Here are all six of this weeks Flower blocks:)
Can you believe we are all finished
planting our flowers?!
Here we have all 22 flowers together...
Our Honey Bee Garden is
in full bloom!
Thank you for sewing with me this week
and I'll meet you right back here
next week to build a beehive!
