Time to reveal the layout of my weekly sew along 'A Flower Bouquet' so you can start sewing it up now!
My asymmetrical is inspired by herb gardens.
Do you have a herb garden, if you do I'm very jealous!
Fabrics I'm Using
- There are still kits if you love the fabric I'm using. This soft and pretty bundle with strong pops of color makes me so happy to be working with it!
- BUY A KIT
THE DOWNLOAD is ALWAYS at the end of my article HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK, so keep reading
- Two layouts in my pattern.
- I think both are very fun to do!
** NOTE – the main supply list (and kit) cover ONLY the original layout. If you choose to do the bonus layout you'll need more fabric for the setting (see the download) and some additional fabric for the 4 blocks that you enlarge from 6.5 x 12.5 to 12.5 x 12.5
Article continues below these Amazon Goodies
- For my section #1, these are the fabrics I am using for setting the blocks.
- My goal is to repeat all of these in each block. The collage like print will most likely be used for only setting strips.
- All sewn together!
BUY Design boards, they are the BEST for laying out block pieces

I had so much fun making this quilt top. I chose a FQB bundle that I had in my stash called Greenery by Maywood Studios. Making this quilt helped me think about fabric combination and placement. I had some favorite blocks too like block number 1 “Seed Catalogs” and block number 8 “ Geraniums”. Thank you Pat for sharing your inspiration.
Pat, I love this Block of the week. It is so pretty. I think I might add a few more blocks to make it fit a queen size. Thank you for helping me with finding the info to up load the pictures. Next ones might be put together is quarters!
Hey Carolyn…I think there is one more block for section 3. I saw on her Facebook today the block is coming out early which will be tomorrow. Tuesday April 9th
I can’t find the layout directions for the third section that we completed today. Anybody else find it?
Hi Pat, is there a supply list for layout option 1?
I must be a dunce! I can’t seem to find the measurements for the setting strips. Could you help me?
Having a drawer full of just floral fabrics, this quilt will help with find room! I do most of the quilt with leftovers that measure up and some of the floral quilts are from my mother-in-law’s mother. These are treasure florial fabric and this line of blocks are perfect!!! Thank You
Pat, This is my first quilt along and i purchased the Gemini however, when you say cut 2.5 triangle i haven’t been sure if it means the 2.5 hst or quarter square triangle. Made the mistake and had a miniature block not 12×12.lol can you specify going forward thanks
I’m beginning to think of this quilt as therapy, forcing me way outside of my comfort zone. Using pastel, muted colors and fabrics; an asymmetric layout; offset blocks with non-uniform sashing strips – lengths AND width?! Even just not knowing what’s coming next unsettles the planner in me. Can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
hi Pat This is my first kit and I am so nervous about running out of material. For the second layout you mention to use your scraps to make more of the Block #5. Should you wait until the end to know what are scraps ???? Nervous Nellie here but having fun.
I can not find your pattern directions for these patterns,
Thanks Pat!
I did option 1 yesterday and it was a good challenge for me. Made a booboo with a measure, but was able to splice in a small piece of fabric that I hope won’t be too noticeable. Then I sewed the 2 sides together wrong and had to rip out and redo. But I’m glad I did it.
Hi Pat- Thank you for giving us the layout options this early! I am doing Option 1 as it is a different challenge. It looks great and I can’t wait to stitch my first blocks together for quadrant 1. Thank you for the free sew a longs, I enjoy them very much!
yeah!
have fun!
it is all in the pattern Nettie
That is my Splendid Sampler from book 1. Find the books at http://shrsl.com/13ot1
does not matter at all Kristy. I just changed my mind. they are the same size block
Wow this is totally out of the normal for me but I really like it, it will be different but It’s mine and looks great. Thanks Pat
Hi Pat…Im making the asymmetrical quilt. The First layout pattern option 1 shows The Gazebo on top right. However your picture shows the Gazebo on bottom right. Does it matter? Im following the picture you are holding. Thanks…Love this quilt pattern!
This is off subject, but what is the name of the quit behind you on the wall in your header for the layout ? Love the browns and teals and pattern looks interesting. Thanks in advance and sorry for going off subject. Have all blocks done so far. Have done several of your designs. Love the simplicity.
sat down day before yesterday and put in new ink in my printer. then printed out all of the patterns. then I cut out everything. yesterday I made all of the squares and am up to date. think I will do the first layout this time of layout. with the first 6 done I can do the first section. nice change, YEA !!!!!!!!
on page 3 below the pictures it tells the size of the strips for this layout.. on page 4 it is enlarged with all the sizes listed. on page 5 it lists sizes for the sashing and boarders on the lest side of the page. happy sewing.
I downloaded it. I saw the 2 layouts and pictures, but I didn’t see the sizes of the pictures of a flower bouquet section 1 strips..
thank you Mary!
you are welcome!
fun!
Kaiser make block 6 tomorrow..just do it.. then go back to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ..
I’m so happy you joined me!
super!
Nettie just download the pattern with all the directions Did you do that? …it’s right above in PINK..
I am brand new at quilt making. I took one class where every step was indicated and I just followed directions. I probably can figure this out, but how do I know the sizes of the strips used to set the blocks? I looked at the Teach me to make my first quilt book and didn’t see this subject addressed.
Love both layouts. I will do asymmetrical first, as I’ve never done an asymmetrical; but may do the traditional layout later when I have time. Thank You!
Morning Pat thanks for layout ideas. Brilliant. Am enjoying so much sewing along with ‘The Flower Bouquet’. You are wonderfully inspiring.
Thank you. I’m so excited to see what it is going to look like.
Thank you! What I thought would be an easy decision for me, isn’t now that I’ve seen both layouts! Maybe I’ll just have to make two now!!
Love the layout! I’ve been in a quilt funk lately but I keep printing out the blocks each week hoping that it gets me back to my Juki.
Love the layout 💗
