Flower Patch Mystery Quilt, Blocks 2 & 3

Block 2 of the Flower Patch Mystery has been pieced. I admit it's not perfect but it's pieced. I was watching an interesting movie while piecing and wasn't always paying attention to what I was doing.

I could have made the bird into a bluejay but I thought cardinals always bring so much joy in winter, so I added red to my fabric collection. 

Here is block 3.

Since I added the red to block 2, I went ahead and made the tulip red. I got the shades of red mixed up so we'll just call it a variegated tulip.

I think the leaves are so neat, so delicate looking!

  3. I had to come back and look again. I LOVE that batik you used for the geese and your background fabric. They play so well together.

    1. That fabric is leftover from another project. I love it when I'm able to make something pretty with fabrics I already have on hand. My daughter wants this quilt when it's finished, she's loving these blocks.

  6. I love the red cardinals and tulip. I have been saving the steps for this but have not sewed as I have so many projects in the works. I shall enjoy seeing your garden quilt as it grows. Thank you for linking up ... :) Pat
