Dancing with the Flowers and FREE Pattern
I came upon a pattern I designed for Windham Fabrics 16 years ago. I called it "Dancing with the Flowers". I used my photo corners appliqué patches to highlight large scale floral motifs in the centers.
The fabrics were from the Modern Grace Collection. Here's a digital version:
Dancing with the Flowers: 48" x 48" |
Let me show you the two blocks and I think it will make a bit more sense. The blocks finish to 10" x 10". Block A has an extra appliqué in the center. Block B just lets the fabric do the talking.
And this was made into a FREE pattern. The photo corners are raw edge appliqué. You can put just about any motif in the center. I did this with some bird fabric years ago:
I made a second quilt with the leftover fabrics. I called it Modern Grace (clever, huh?) I used the appliqué flower template to cut out more patches and scattered them over the surface of the quilt. I taught this as a workshop in 2007, too!

Thank you! With 3 free patterns in a couple of days, I feel blessed and wealthy! Both versions of this are really nice ones, and would be fun to play around with them.
