My Garden Quilt Block

 HELLO and WELCOME!

Today I am happy to reveal my block for 

It's A Garden Party Row Along

Marian from Seams To Be Sew is hosting this Row Along for the 6th year! She works for months planning and keeping us all on top of things. It's quite a popular event and every year more designers join. I'm in my 6th year to "row along" with her.

I want to thank Northcott fabrics for being a long-time sponsor and helping each of the designers by providing us with up to 1 yard of fabric to use in our blocks. 

My choice this year was fat quarters of these 4 beautiful fabrics:


I want to tell you about the special happenings during this row along. 

Of course, there is the free quilt pattern each designer is offering during their featured week.

Each designer will tell you about giveaways and/or discount codes that happen during their week of posting. 

For everyone 

Electric Quilt Company 

has a 20% off discount code

The code is GARDENPARTY20 

Use the code to purchase products from the EQ website. 
It is good for the entire time of the row along event!

EQ Cotton Lawn Inkjet Fabric Sheets are my go-to sheets for any project where I am using photos. I've tried so many other brands of inkject fabric sheets, but EQ's are the best! They are easy to use and the feel of the sheets is so much like the quilting cottons I use.

This week only, and special to my blog, 

(starts September 10, 2020/ Ends September 17, 2020) 

is the chance to win a fat quarter bundle giveaway from 

Wouldn't a bundle of fat quarters be a great addition to your stash? 


This is a $20 value. The winner must pay shipping costs.

Love your row. My favorite quilt block is the half square triangle.

That’s beautiful, Nancy. I love the 3D of the leaves and flowers. I thought you would post your gorgeous gridster flower quilt! Just one favorite? My first love was a Grandmother’s Flower Garden so I’ll go with that.

What an amazing block. Thank you. Looking at my garden, I am partial to flowers that are in the pink to burgundy range. I also love Asiatic lilies. I don't have a favourite block pattern, but have a preference for applique, at the moment. :)

Brenda @ Songbird Designs said...

I must say I like MOST block patterns, LOL! Thanks for sharing your talent and hard work with us! Love your Welcome block!

Lori said...

oh but this is wonderful. thank you. i love the three dimensional effect.

Joni said...

Love your 3-D block! I love all blocks and all flowers. One of the most versatile blocks is the half square triangle. I love and grow many colors of alstromerias, they last and last in a bouquet.

Emily said...

So pretty! I've been wanting to experiment with more 3-D looks in quilts. I love all flowers, my favorites are dogwoods. Pinks and purples are my favorites.

Konstantina said...

Very nice, thank you! Love the block!

Beth said...

I've been thinking about this a lot today. I was packing my car in advance of evacuating due to wildfires. I decided to take only two quilts and both were log cabins. So that may be my favorite block, maybe because when I piece it I tend to use many of my favorite fabrics, so it becomes a sentimental treasure right away.

kupton52 said...

Thank you for the wonderful pattern and the chance to win the gorgeous TT fabric bundle. My favorite quilt pattern is 54-40 or Fight set on point. The star looks like a totally different block when set on point.

Kathleen said...

Thank you for your great block. I love the HST (half square triangle) - it can be used so many ways.

Michele T said...

My favourite block is the Log Cabin and I like to make them wonky...it’s a great way to use scrap fabrics!

Carol McWhorter said...

This is such a refreshingly different block. Thank you so much for your time and effort in creating it and offering it to us during the row along. I would have to say my favorite quilt block is the log cabin. Probably because there are so many different layouts.

Rochelle aka Bella Quilts said...

Thank you for this beautiful pattern and the opportunity to learn more about how you designed it. My favorite block is flying geese. I do better with paper pieced geese than traditional pieced. Thanks to your sponsors for such wonderful gifts.

Sewgirl said...

I have always been partial to the log cabin block. What a sweet pattern you created. Thanks for sharing!

JANET said...

My favorite is the feathered star block.

Sue Green said...

That's a tough question! I like applique or star blocks.

So excited when I saw your wonderful 3D flowers - thank you so much!! What a special garden party, but my favourite flowers have to be poppies.

I really don't have a favorite block. I select pattern and color based on the person who is going to receive the quilt. Nancy Angerer: SewingGranda@gmail.com

I like celtic styles of quilt blocks.

Marian said...

Heya Nancy, so sorry I'm getting here so late. I love this row and how fun it is. Incorporating fun dimensional techniques to really get those flowers to give that realistic look. Just wonderful and the tutorial you did today is also just fabulous. I've never tried doing the stems like that, but wow, so so clever. As always its so nice to have you in the row along again this year. Gives me Joy, thank you so much for participating.

Amanda Best said...

Lots of favorites, but the one that comes to mind is the Ohio Star.
