this one isn't "officially" a flower block but it reminds me of a flower.

it finishes to 10". if you want a 12" block, just add a 1" border to each side.

for those who don't care to paper piece, try cutting out the pieces, trace around them to add seam allowances, and use those for templates.

i had posted a templates file but just looked more closely at the instructions page. this block is not in the public domain so i can't legally "copy" it and distribute the templates. sorry for the mixup.

NOTE: dannypanny reported problems getting Template A to print to proper size. that template appears to be defective. unless you are a printing whiz, you could waste a lot of time and paper trying to get it to print to proper size.

a much easier solution is to not use Template A. instead, print extra copies of Template B. Add 1 inch to each end of the template for the side pieces.

another solution is to make extra copies of Template B. use the short side as-is for all four sides. to get the top and bottom to size, stitch extra pieces to each end. after you assemble the block, trim off the excess.

i'm sorry. this is my fault. i didn't take the time to test the templates before i posted the selection. my apologies.

Oh no Patrice you are determined to get me to like paper piecing! And I am doing 2 blocks! It is a pretty block though

I took a paperless pieceing class and loved it so I am anxious to try this pattern out this new way!

YEAH!! :D Our May block is here!! :D I am a little intimitated, but can't wait to try it out!! :D Thank you for picking this one out!!
:D :D :D :D

The full sized quilt on there is sure pretty. Reminds me of a stained glass window.

I am always up for a challenge. Being a new quilter this looks like it will definitely challenge me. Thanks for the posting..Hope I come up with something I am not ashamed to show ya'll

Beautiful block!! Not sure that I'd want to try either method....those pieces are so SMALL!! I envy you all that can do it! :mrgreen:

I may try both ways. Still behind, have not done march or april.

didn't i see someone post this block in the colors of a sunflower? she said she was early but since she was finished she was posting. she did a really nice job, too. am i the only one who saw it? i wish i could remember who it was or the name of the post.

I plan to give it a try,Learn pp
