This is the hollyhock block from the "My Secret Garden" quilt from the book "Gathered From the Garden." I have two more blocks to make.

I love that! I am partial to hollyhocks. When I was a kid I used to make ladies out of the flowers with a toothpick one full flower and a bud for the head. I love your block! I will have to try that one some time!

I love that you've appliqued it with black thread for a more old fashioned look. Excellent block. I'd love to see the whole quilt at some point.

I used black thread because the border fabric has a black background. The shop I bought this from as a block of the month changed some of the fabrics a little because she pulled them all from her shelves.

It's starting to come together. All the blocks are done and the bottom section is together. It won't be long and it'll be ready for borders.
