Daffodil Flower Block| Blocks 2 Quilt

Daylight savings time tells us to spring ahead and boy, Oh BOY is Mother Nature listening! In my area, the trees are budding and the early spring flowers are starting to show their colors. That’s why the Daffodil Flower block is perfect for the season.

Daffodils are early risers and even though they come in many colors, they are most commonly planted in yellow.

Daffodil Flower Block Details

The finished Daffodil quilt block measure:

• 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
• 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)

Material & Tool Supply List:

• Assorted Scraps: Yellow, Orange, Green & Background Prints
• Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
• Clearly Perfectly Slotted Trimmer
• Heat erasing marking tool
• Spray starch

This block is a simple patchwork construction that requires half square triangles and stitching on the bias. Some of the cut pieces in the 6″ block are small and can be tricky to stitch in place. For that reason, I am saying this block is perfect for the confident beginner.

The clearly perfect slotted trimmers make cutting the half square triangles a breeze. Here is a quick video to show you what I mean.
