Flowers for the Garden

The pretty little box was loaded with all that’s necessary to make some flowers for the garden and three flowers were made on Wednesday.

This will be a small quilt — perhaps a little doll’s or teddy bear’s quilt.   I think there will be about 10 flowers, or perhaps even less, in total for this one.  These are 1″ hexagons and they seem enormous in comparison to the .50″ ones I was working with last week.

The backs:

To see flowers made by other hexagon gardeners on One Flower Wednesday, go to Karen’s blog and on her sidebar you will see the names of the gardeners with links to their blogs.

I’ve been looking through the Japanese hexagon book again and, among other quilts that catch my eye, this one really interests me because of the quilting design used in the flowers.  It’s very pretty and very effective.  I think if you click on the picture to enlarge it, you’ll be able to see it.

One of the trees on the roof garden, and I have no idea what type of tree it is, has these little pink buds on it.  I don’t remember ever noticing it flowering before so have no idea what these will turn into.

  1. The GFG variation in the magazine is wonderful! I am always intrigued by all the different variations of this design as well. Perhaps the tree on the roof garden is a crabapple?

  3. Of course I just love those hexagon flowers *s*

    It’s fun to see the bloomin’ tree. Being in a new place, seems to me like everything outside is a wonder to me this spring. I don’t know what half of it is called . . . . but it sure is purdy *s*

  4. Such soft, spring like flowers and look at the pretty spools of thread. I really like the quilt in the book. What an interesting way to do around the flowers. I will keep that in mind.
