How to Make a Bloom Quilt:

Step 1

Get a 10-inch square, cut it as instructed in the video, and then pair a print square and background square together with their right sides facing. Draw an “X” at the back of the background fabric from corner to corner, then sew on both sides of the line with ¼ inch seam allowance, and cut them across both sections and you’ll end up with 4 pieces of fabric units.

Step 2

Next, cut along the lines of each piece, press them open, and square them into 2.5 inches, you’ll have a total of 8 half-square triangles. Assemble the corner units as shown in the video, stitch them together, and press them as you go, you should have a total of 4 corner units. Take 2 identical 10-inch squares, then stack them together making sure they’re lined up nicely, and cut them into 4½ inch strips before subcutting them into 4½ inch squares.

Step 3

Place a small background square on the top corners of the print square, then stitch them diagonally from corner to corner, and trim the excess with ¼ inch seam allowance. Press the seams nicely, then make a total of 4 sets, and proceed to make the flying geese units. Assemble all of the units as shown in the video, then stitch them, and press the seams as you go.
