You guys all knew that I wouldn't be content running the Summer Garden blocks through the machine as leaders & enders while piecing Christmas Star blocks!
Each 10" square makes two blocks.. The white background fabric was cut from yardage.
I bought the floral fabrics off the resale table at the Jane Stickle retreat several years ago. They make me smile! I had enough of each fat quarter left to make binding which has been sewn, bagged and is hanging with the flimsies.
These quilts will be quilted this coming winter then donated to the cancer center at Goshen Hospital for use by cancer patients.
The pattern for these blocks was originally called Ground Cover and was designed by Me and My Sister. I don't like the name ground cover and renamed my blocks Summer Garden since I'm using these beautiful floral fabrics.
These quilt were fun and fast to make. I'll be using this pattern again for charity quilts.

These are lovely and that quilt holder man looks handsome and strong! I know these quilts will really cheer up a cancer patient!
Two people will be fortunate to receive these cheerful little quilts! The fabrics do make me smile too.Love your quilt holder - looks like he was a great helper! ~Jeanne
you have a terrific quilt holder there - he is a keeper for sure!
Nice quilts and wow have those grand sons really grown up fast!!!! I feel older!! You know this pattern gives me an idea on how I might are the next fast quilt with the same type of fabric as Double Hourglass but in grey’s. Hummmm. Hugs
The quilts are really cheerful. Your quilt holder did a very nice job.
Two delightful quilts! I love the colour teamed up with the white, so fresh & pretty. They will be much loved & used I'm sure.
A quilt holder is a handy thing -- er, person -- to have around the house! ;-)
Both of those are very pretty -- and while I agree with you about the name of the pattern, one might think of it this way: with those blocks, you can cover a lot of scrappy ground! Happy Quilting!
They are lovely. Making the blocks with the different colour placement means they go together nicely without the need for sashing. Such a great idea.
Gorgeous! And what a clever quilt holder that is, lol! xx
We are in agreement - red, white and blue make the best summer quilts. And handsome quilt models who take their role seriously make for perfect pictures. I hope he is well-compensated.
Lovely quilts, your floral fabrics look wonderful. Great pattern for donation quilts indeed, I may borrow it from you! Perfect new helper too, he looks very concentrate and aware of his important task ;)
Thank you for sharing your pretty flimsies, linking up today!
I don't know whether or more smitten with your sweet quilts, or with your sweet quilt holding assistant! I love that serious face of his!! Great job.
What a bright and happy quilt top. Cute holder upper too.
That's really cool that you get two blocks by swapping out 'the parts'!
Such a handsome little helper holding your quilts, Gretchen. Your quilts are adorable. Thank you so much for sharing the link. I have Ground Cover on my to do list now. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
What a great job your handsome quilt holder did! And what a lovely quilt with those soft pretty colours. Always wonderful things to see when visiting here, Gretchen.
You have a great quilt holder!!!
and the quilts look so different to me, even with the same fabrics.... Maybe its my computer haha!! Love them!!!
What a treasure of a grandson you have! He is so excited to hold the cute quilt for the photo.
