Greetings all. This will be a simple block using black and white fabrics as the background and bright colors for your flowers. You will select a background fabric that is either black with white print or white with black print. Here is a sampling of my selection. Note that my fabrics include brights, which you will use to make your flower. Next, from your background fabric, cut a rectangle 7.5” x 5.5.” Then simply add a flower of your choosing which you will appliqué onto the rectangle as pictured, leaving at least 3/4” all around for the seam allowance.
Here is a separate link to a Missouri Star Quilt You Tube tutorial if you have not done appliqué before. I cut my flowers pieces and used fabric glue to keep them in place and then just used a zigzag stitch to stitch my flower in place, but you can use wonder under, needle turned or raw edge appliqué. It does not matter which way you do it. I used fabric glue and raw edged because I’m at a quilt retreat and left my facing at home. That’s it!
I hope you have fun making wild and crazy or soft and pretty flowers-it’s up to you. Be as creative as you want. You do not have to include stems and leaves with your flowers. You choose how you want your flower to look.
