Wedding Quilt Block

I have started Trevor’s quilt block. The theme is the roaring 20’s. I chose a block from one of Erin Russek’s free montly quilt blocks called Mimi’s Bloomers. I chose to leave off the dots at the end of the flowers to give it a more Art Deco feel.

First I drafted the pattern then made freezer paper templates.

I ironed on the templates and cut out all the pieces. Next I started pressing the edges in. I only did a few as I get bored with the process. I’ll do more as needed.

I appliqued the four central pattern pieces on. This material is what I used to determine the rest of my fabrics.

The finished block will be 20” x 20”.
