Easy Flower Quilt Block

Since spring is almost here, it is time for flower patterns! Don’t you love flowers? I do, and I love staring at them. I already have a ton of beautiful flower quilt patterns from my collection, but this might be the best. Isn’t this lovely? I just love how this easy flower quilt block looks, and it even has leaves. It reminds me of spring or summer in the tropics. I also like the two-toned petals – they definitely made the pattern unique.

How to Make a Flower Quilt Block

Step 1:

Get the 4 1/2″ solid squares and draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on the wrong side. Next, place them on the 4 1/2″ printed squares right sides together.

Step 2:

Sew 1/4″ away on either side of the line, then cut directly on the line. Press each half-square triangle open. Trim excess.

Step 3:

Draw diagonal lines from corner to corner on all of the 1 1/2″ squares. Place the 1 1/2″ background squares on the top corners of each block, with the diagonal lines toward the center edge. Make sure you place them on the same place for each half-square triangles. Sew directly on the lines. Trim excess and press them open.

Step 4:

Draw diagonal lines on the wrong side of the 2 1/2″ white squares and place them on top of the green squares. Sew 1/4″ away from either side of the line. Cut directly on the line and press them open. Trim excess. Sew 2 1/4″ white squares on the green side of the half square triangles. Make sure the white part of the half square triangles are on the right side. Press them open.

Step 5:

Arrange all the blocks just like in the photo below and press them flat. Trim excess.

Step 6:

Arrange the blocks into a flower and place the remaining 2 1/4″ white square in the middle. Sew them together to make the flower block.
