Wildflower Quilt Pattern, Part 1: Wildflower Quilt Block

November 6, 2015 by FaveQuilts 2 Comments

Today we have a lovely quilt block pattern from Melanie Rudy over at Quilters… Enjoy Color! Melanie has studied fashion design and sewing in her native Canada, where she currently resides. She was a FaveQuilts Top Blogger in 2014, so naturally we’re thrilled to have her on the blog today! This tutorial will teach you all you need to know about how to make a quilt block that looks like a lovely wildflower. You can find part two here, showing you how to put the quilt together! Without further ado, here’s Melanie’s quilt block pattern, originally featured over at her blog.

    Why am I not able to “save” your patterns? I can “save” the Fave patterns.Pinterest will not work for me on either site,but the “save” has made it possible to keep your patterns.

      Hi Carol,

      Unfortunately, our blog doesn’t have the same “save pattern” option that FaveQuilts and AllFreeSewing do – we’re sorry! If you’d like to keep track of a particular post or pattern on the blog, you can go to the Bookmarks menu in your browser and click “Bookmark This Page.” It will then be saved to your bookmarks so you can access it from the Bookmarks menu. We hope that helps, and thanks for reading!
