I have purchased a copy of "Not your grandmothers tumbling blocks" and "Not your grandmothers flower garden" pattern books. I have great success with the tumbling blocks pattern. I made a Seven sisters quilt top.
Two days ago..I decided..well..that if the tumbling blocks was this easy...I will go ahead do the flower garden pattern. I have decided to not make the flower garden pattern. I spent way to much time just cutting out the sections..and the waste is unbelievable. I don't know about anyone else..but I hate wasting fabric. Luckily I decide to just try one flower. I am so glad I did. What a disappointment.
I guess the old way is the better way. I don't know if I have the patience to tackle a flower garden. I am going to try.
Peace and Blessings and add some patience...
