Floral Fusion Block 11 & border

The products featured in this post were provided to me free of charge. As an Island Batik Ambassador I receive two shipments a year filled with beautiful Island Batik fabric. Included in these shipments are products from industry partners Hobbs Batting, Schmetz Needles, Deb Tucker Studio 180 Designs, Aurifil Thread and new this year, Oliso Irons. I am a Missouri Star Quilt Co. Partner and earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Floral Fusion is an applique floral pattern with new blocks being release every Monday. For more information and where to find the downloads visit the Floral Fusion SAL Page.

We’ve reached the end of planting our garden, I hope you have enjoyed the sew along. Today’s final download includes the last flower block and instructions for finishing your garden.

Because every garden needs a border I’ve added a fence row (blue and white blocks below) for he bottom of our quilts. If you prefer, add a fence row to all four sides of your quilt, make it your own. The included directions reveal a patchwork border (pink and white), the directions for additional cutting, and putting it all together.
