Violet Quartet

This cute little flower quilt was a spur of the moment inspiration. I had leftover pieces of green cut for my last project, so why not use them now?


I added pretty violet batik flower petals, making four blocks, then framed them with 1” green strips.


Quilting is simply serpentine stitch about 2” apart in green thread. Violet Quartet is 19” square and didn't take long to whip up.


The backing makes this a reversible two for one: I used shamrock fabric and more leftover strips. How's that for creativity?


While I enjoy planning ahead, sometimes it's more fun to go with the flow and see where it leads you.


Dies used:
Accuquilt 55409 Triangle in Square 4" fin
Blue Wren 6015 1 ½” Strips
