Who doesn’t love spring? There are beautiful flowers everywhere, and the weather is warmer. So, I decided to choose flower designs for my projects this season. The first one that I chose is this pattern by Missouri Star. Isn’t this beautiful? Each block consists of six petals that are made using a mini orange peel template. It’s simple yet has its own charm. Learn how to make a wallflower quilt with Jenny Doan through the instructions below. Happy quilting!
Materials:
- 2 packages of 10″ squares (1 print and 1 solid)

Instructions:
Step 1:
Take a print and a solid 10″ square. Lay them on top of each other, then cut them in half. Set one pair aside as it will be for the petals.
Step 2:
Sew the halved print and solid together to make a block with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Press it open with an iron.
Step 3:
Get the other side, and cut a 5″ square. Set aside the other half for another project. Iron the 5″ squares on a piece of heat n’ bond. Be careful not to iron the sticky part. Once done, cut it out. Trace the orange peel template to the back part – three pieces for each color, then cut them using a pair of scissors or a rotary cutter.
Step 4:
Peel the adhesive from the six petals and stick them onto the 10″ by 9 1/2″ block you sewed earlier to make a flower just like in the photo below. Make sure you put the petals on the side with a different color. Press them with an iron.
Step 5:
Blanket stitch around the edge of the petals. Now you have one block done. Repeat it with your whole pack. You need 7 rows with 6 blocks on each row.
