Pick a Petal - BOM 2024 - Month 01

We are beginning our Pick a Petal journey together with the centre block.

I describe myself as an organic designer (... it sounds better than ‘unorganized’) and a medallion style quilt lends itself perfectly to this way of working. The centre block sets the tone for the entire layout, and I was really happy with this when I had finished. The low volume contrast fabric really makes the colourful shapes pop.

I cut out my fabrics using the acrylic templates. I sewed the blades by hand. All came together beautifully until I got to the outer edge/corner pieces. Sewed the pieces together into one piece and then sewed the star to the outer piece. It won’t lay flat after hand sewing the center and the edge piece. What am I doing wrong? Taking it apart and trying again. :-(

The templates do not print accurately. The 1” square is never correct. Help

I would love any tips on how to get the centre points on the centre star to align perfectly. Im doing hand stitching and after 2 try’s they are just not meeting in the centre. Thanks for any help

I appliqué the circle onto the background instead or using the template pieces

Someone mentioned bringing the block into EQ8 to audition colors. I would love to know how to do this. Anyone ?

Jen showed tracing the templates with a pencil onto fabric. None of my pencils show up on fabric. What type of pencil does she use?
