Daisy + Seedbeds

Winter Tapestry Garden

Do you remember this set of blocks from my original Tapestry Garden quilt?

Daisy is a complete dresden block that falls at the upper right corner of the quilt. Seedbeds are the little rectangular elements. The tiny squares remind me of seed starters =)

When I finished that first Daisy block, I wasn’t so happy with the low contrast between the two different fabrics used for dresden blades. With that in mind, I’ve chosen black vs. gray petals for today’s dresden block. That should up the contrast.

And it does! What also makes an impact is the contrast between the horizontal text print and the organic gray floral. I like! Now to create a circle for the center and attach everything to my block background...

I’ll create matching Seedbed blocks using this dreamy Fableism Sprout Woven in Mulberry from Floyd the Fox. Such a cool, moody shade.

Each of these patchwork groups from the Tapestry Garden block-of-the-month is just right for an afternoon of sewing. It’s a treat to have a clear start, a satisfying finish and something new each time.

Now, just one more patchwork group and it’ll be time to sew this winter beauty together. I better hurry. Spring is coming!
