Christmas is a distant memory, but unfortunately cough and sniffles linger on. So it is time to look forward to Spring. Shoots and buds are appearing in the garden and I am looking forward to see what has survived the winter or not been eaten by mice. They seem to have a liking for allium and tulip bulbs. I think next year will have to plant twice as much and hope that some survive.
I couldn’t let a horrid head cold get the better of me so have taken the time and updated my daffodil foundation piecing pattern.
The pattern is a single daffodil with right and left facing options and has a finished size of approx 7 x 10 inches. I couldn’t resist making it into placemats for Easter and have included this as a bonus pattern.
Daffodil Foundation Piecing Pattern
I want to thank my pattern tester Sue Watson, who has never tried foundation piecing before. She said that she enjoyed learning a new technique and made a lovely block using batik fabrics. Have you had a go at foundation piecing yet? I find an “Add a Quarter” ruler helps with the placement of the patches.
And now back to the sketchbook to update the tulip pattern.
Happy Quilting
