Hyacinth Quilt Pattern by Fig Tree
Creating flower quilt blocks has always been one of my favorite design puzzles. It requires both time in the garden as well as time with my graph paper… both activities that bring me great joy & satisfaction. When my tiny little Grape Hyacinth plant unexpectedly re-bloomed this year, I knew it was time to create a quilted version of the charming little blooms. Each Hyacinth block is its own little masterpiece and even though there are a few SEW & FLIPs in each one… I do think they are well worth the final result!
