THE FLOWER GARDEN AND A MANTIS NURSERY

I am on the last three rows of blocks to finish my Confetti quilt and also just finishing the binding handwork on my hand appliquéd table runner so it is time to start a new project. 

I attended a Chat and Sew group in July and several of the ladies were showing off their completed flower garden quilts.  Penny offered me her pattern, so I took advantage of the gift.  Several of the girls used Kaffe Fassett fabrics and I do love Fassett fabrics and have some scraps left over from other projects in the closet.  However, I have 12 one yard pieces of Laura Heine's Color Fusion fabric sitting waiting for a project and I am using it.
The black print I will be using for the vines in the blocks.
The green fabric is another addition and is a Kaffe Fassett left over from other projects.
And again the green a new Kaffee Fassett addition. 
I order 9 yards of this Swiss dot by Riley Blake from the Fat Quarter shop so hope to get started when it arrive this week.  
The first block, top left for the pattern, is ready to go.  Yes, this will be machine appliqued.  While my hand appliquéd table runner was fun, that is way out of my league.  This should be such fun!

We continue to find our little praying mantis babies about in our garden.  Seems like we have a growing nursery for the little guys.

  5. I love the Flower Garden pattern in all Kaffe fabrics, but I'm glad you're using different fabrics for yours. I've seen quite a few versions of the quilt in KF fabrics and after the third or fourth one, they all start to look alike. I'm looking forward to seeing this take shape for you -- it will be gorgeous in the fabrics you've selected!
