Florid Bloom

Part 1

I wanted to try out the Florid Bloom template set and Double Wedding Ring Quilts book from Victoria Findlay Wolfe. I pulled out my stack of 1930s reproduction prints and cut out some pieces.

This is where the Fiskars Rotating Cutting Mat came in handy. I don't use it often but sometimes I find the project that really needs a rotating cutting mat.

See how nice and neat!

I had a pretty good collection of prints but this project will likely get me to end of the 1930s prints.

Here is the first layout I did once I had cut all the arcs.

It sat like that for about a week before I cut the yellow for the little center slices.

I had just enough of this green to cut the interior pieces.

It wasn't easy finding coordinating prints from my collection of fabric. I'm trying to work exclusively from my fabrics and not buy any more. I have so much! After I took this photo I realized I hadn't cut the corner pieces. I'm trying to decide if I want to attempt bias binding and leave those rounded corners. I've got time to decide. I definitely see a super scrappy version of this quilt in my future.
