Floral Fusion blocks 2 & 7
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.
Your garden will grow by 5 blocks with today’s download being one large flower, and four large leaf blocks. These should go together pretty quick for you.
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.
Last week block 8
Last week I released block 8, which was for 8 blocks. The great thing about fusible applique you don’t need be too accurate with your cutting unlike patchwork. It took a little while to cut out all those triangles in the flower heads but they were quick to stitch down. Don’t forget, share the progress you are making in the linkup on the Floral Fusion Page.
