- - 10-minute variation: 11-minute flower? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/10-minute-variation-11-minute-flower-t130415.html)

A while back, PaperPrincess posted some pictures of some batik quilts she had done (http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-103513-1.htm) that I thought were beautiful -- very elegant. Also, I'd been wanting to try the 10-minute block.

Putting these 2 things together, I came up with my 11-minute flower. Basically, the "pinwheel" from PaperPrincess with a center to make it look like a flower. What do you think? The flower petals are 5" squares, and the centers are 4".

(I don't think they really take me 11 minutes ... well, except when I get the petals oriented wrong and have to rip everything out and start over!)

Beautiful, that is such a great idea!

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Love your batik flowers.....You had a great idea.

Wonderful! May I borrow this idea? I've been playing with 10 min blocks also.

Those are gorgeous!!

Absolutely!

The final seam is a little tricky because the middle block is small ... I wouldn't want to try anything less than 4".

Beautiful! I'm bookmarking this one.

I love the way they float on the background.
