Cactus Bloom Quilt | Blocks 2 Quilt

Okay, last week I shared the story of Lil’ Lolo and I could not resist adding a friend, the Cactus Bloom quilt block. (secretly, I’m giggling at the flowers!)

Honestly, I find these little succulents so inspiring that I could create an entire series on them. During our family vacation to Utah last year, I photographed so many of them. Here is one from the base of the Grand Canyon. Inspiration is really everywhere!

Each plant has it’s own personality. From rounded leaves to pointed & sharp tips, they are all wonderful!

Cactus Bloom Block

The Cactus Bloom quilt block is available in two finished sizes that measure:

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

Materials & Supply List:

• Assorted Scraps: Green, Peach, Pink, Brown and Background Prints
• Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
• Heat erasing marking tool
• Spray starch
• Flatter Spray
• Sewing Machine

As always, each of my blocks are perfect for using your scraps! Since this one has a few smaller pieces, I put together a video with a few tips. This way, you are sure to have success at the machine.

I really think that the extra tips included in the video and pattern download will help you achieve successful sewing of your block. Especially, the smaller finished 6″ size. Just be sure to take your time and press, press, press!!

The Cactus Bloom quilt block pattern is available for free until May 21, 2020, after that it will be available for purchase in the shop. Just click the button below, add the block to your cart and follow the prompts for check out.

Now, if you are not ready to start stitching this today, don’t fret, just PIN THIS to your favorite quilting board on Pinterest. This way, you can look through your pins for inspiration and remember you already have the pattern in your library!
