Field of Wild Flowers Bed Quilt

By: Ralph Jones

From the Designer: "Each block is 8"x 8" finished. Flowers are assorted colors, hand-sewn, and folded to create the flower. It is a king size quilt. Block making is a 2 sided circle turned inside out, starting with an 8" circle; this can be adjusted to the size you desire. Once turned, zig-zag around the circle close to the edge. Fold to create the flower. Hand stitch to secure the petals and center. I attached the blocks using a finished 2" sash. Border is 3" finished."

  4. Fold points turning out to form petals.
