Hi Makers!

Spring has officially arrived with Potager by Sharon Holland! This fabric collection captures the charm of a flourishing garden, where gorgeous florals bloom, vibrant vegetables thrive, and happy hens roam freely. With a refreshing palette of spring greens, golden yellows, and serene blues, Potager brings warmth and tranquility to your quilting projects. In this tutorial, we’re embracing that beauty with a flower-inspired quilt block, perfectly suited to the collection’s rustic elegance and garden-fresh hues.

Using easy and effective techniques, we’ll start with strip piecing to create a seamless foundation, followed by the corner square triangle method to add depth and dimension. These time-saving techniques make assembling the block both fun and efficient, letting the prints and colors of Potager shine through in every stitch.

Like a well-tended vegetable garden, quilting is all about slowing down and enjoying the process. Whether you’re an experienced quilter or just starting, this block is a wonderful way to embrace the simple joys of sewing. So, gather your fabrics, soak in the inspiration of Potager, and let’s create a quilt block that blooms with charm and creativity!

Don’t forget to enjoy every stitch, sew at ¼ inch, and press your pieces within every step!
