Sure makes me think spring when looking at a pansy block. Great colors! Keep posting your progress. Love to see quilts in the making.

My mouth fell open when I saw these. Absolutely GORGEOUS! I showed my Mom because she loves pansies. She thought they were really great. Although, she thinks I'm crazy sometimes (When I'm into something, I'm really INTO it. Excited about it...)
;)
Great work!!

Really love the Pansies. My grandmother always had pansies planted in her garden so I think of her every time I see a Pansy. Id love to see the pattern for the Pansies. Tho I'm sure I could come up with one of my own, yours already looks perfect. Do you sew around the the edges of the Pansies or just iron on the fusible web? And will it stay in place if it's washed?

Wow! That is a gorgeous block which will make one gorgeous quilt! You are so talented!

So, are you done with the other 11 yet?

:lol:

I have 3 blocks assembled but not stitched. They are just fused in place. I have lots more flowers cut out, but had to set it aside for a little while. A lady that I work with is retiring June 1 and I wanted to make something for her since she has always been so nice to me. I found Aunt Hatties Garden in McCalls under web bonuses and am working on it now. It is an applique with much larger pieces ,but I am having a terrible time deciding on sashing and border fabrics. I buy something I like and by the time I get it home, I have decided that it's too dark. I think I will use the fabrics anyway but insert a third narrow border of buttery yellow to lighten it up. I am so wishy washy! I have such a hard time deciding. Please someone come over and make the decision for me :lol: :!: :!:

I don't usually add borders , but mine have been simple patterns. when I did a border, I used a narrow white, and then used one of the fabrics that were in the quilt

Vicki, you should try to find the "Molly's Magic Pansies" pattern online. I think the sashing in it may be just what you are after. It is composed of square of various green that are pieced, and just for kicks, they threw in a couple of nine patches, which I made up in deep violet and white. It really adds interest.

Hope this helps!

www.Foothillfabrics.com has the pattern for sale. If you go to their website you can see it and get the idea about the strips of green squares making up the sashing.

Thanks I'll check it out when I get home tonight :-)

Vicki - that is absolutely gorgeous. What pattern did you use? They look so real.
