Year of Flowers collection or be used individual. Block size may vary.
Patterns added since August 2017 are only available via my German Flower bed page.

Lesser Celandine
Paper Piecing Pattern 15 x 15 cm
In spring, the joyfully dotted carpets of Lesser Celandine are a garden delight and also found in the wild. The radiant yellow flowers are dancing above a rich green cushion of heart-shaped leaves.
A star shaped flower requires 7 segments and 46 parts, but I think it is worth the effort!
Design suggestion for a placemat
The individual flower has eight to eleven brilliantly yellow petals. The stamens and punches are hard to see as they are just as yellow as the petals. Use embroidery or beading to enhance the center.
The block fits in the Year of Flowers pattern set.
Blue flowers: Chicory
Paper Piecing Pattern 20 x 20 cm
|
|
Chicory is showing it's bright blue flowers well into October. The single bloom opens at daybreak in bold blue, fades rapidly during the morning and is already pale and scraggly looking by early afternoon. The next morning the cycle begins anew; sufficient buds are available on the long stems. A special feature are the blue stamens. |
There are more blue flowers among my Patterns; i.e. the 
Bell Flower and the Wood Squill.
The pattern set Year of Flowers also includes some blue blossoms.

Jubilee Rose
Paper Piecing Pattern
Finished block size: 15x15 cm plus seam allowances

In January 2013 my website was online for five years. I celebrated this with the Jubilee Rose pattern. By my readers request I added a bud and now there is a half opened rose too. Many quilters sewed along with me; they send photos as well as "real" roses. They are used in my |

Tete-a-Tete
Paper Piecing Pattern
Finished block size: 10" x 10" plus seam allowances
Spring - to me it is represented by the little Tete-a-Tete narcissus you can place on your window sill. There they are producing their delicious blooms for a long time. The fresh green and yellow enliven my mind after long grey winter days.
As this block is fairly large compared with my usual block size I decided to divide the background for use with various sky fabrics.

You may also sew a plain background with fewer seams; this variation is included in the pattern.
