My Secret Garden - Block 6 with Brenda

It’s time for our last block! I cut this one out quickly with my Accuquilt cutter and the 6” Qube. Many people think that with a 6” Qube, you are limited to 6” blocks, but I hope this quilt along has shown that there are many possibilities when you combine the shapes. This 12” block has over 70 pieces! The center section is a bit smaller than the other blocks so I did end up cutting the small triangles and rectangles with a ruler and rotary cutter. Here is the block all cut and ready to be sewn.

Here we are on the final block. Our time together has flown past. Ideally, slightly darker fabric for the beige choice would have provided a more floral looking block. However, in this color choice the navy takes the front stage in the design choice.

My Secret Garden - Block 5 with Brenda

We are getting so close to finishing our blocks! I love how the pattern designer used a pinwheel block as the center of the first three blocks, and now a nine patch for the last three blocks. It is a clever way to change things around. I find that the nine patches go together quickly and I am eager to see these blocks completed.

Can you believe it? We have tipped past the half way mark and I hope you are enjoying this quilt as much as I have. I love the elegant colors and the imaginative flowers that unfold with each block. This one looks a bit like a star flower.
