Here is Block 1 of my 2010 Block of the Month: Florabunda. I’m a little new to putting patterns up on my blog so if you have any trouble downloading the pattern let me know by leaving a comment. I have the pattern in two forms. The first is a full size pattern (12” square you can download here ) that you can save to a USB drive and take to a copy place to have printed. The other is a ¼ size drawing (download here) that should print on a regular printer. You can make 4 copies of this one and tape it together for a full size pattern. Good luck and let me know how it goes. If we have enough people doing this it would be fun to have a gallery.
Also, I have added some tips for pressing the appliqué pieces. If you look closely you will see that mine isn’t actually stitched yet (Ooops). I decided to take the kids to Avatar in IMAX 3D and I had a 3D movie hangover.
I can cut multiple shapes by pinning. These scissors from Karen Kay Buckley help.
This is how I fold the puter points
I picked out my fabrics and getting ready to start. I also posted about it on my blog. Thanks for sharing.

Gerade habe ich den ersten Block in meinen Blog gestellt.
Es hat mir sehr viel Spass gemacht ihn zu nähen.
Auch wenn ich nicht ganz so perfekt bin, wie sie.
Jetzt warte ich voller Ungeduld auf den nächsten Block. Es ist natürlich nicht so, das ich nichts zu tun hätte, nein, ich habe natürlich viele UFO´s hier.
Liebe Grüße Käte

Thank you so much, I love applique, and this quilt looks like it´ll be a heirloom. Will try to make it too. Again, Erin, thanks for sharing with us and congratulations for your great designs.

Just downloaded the 1/4 pattern, worked great.
Will head down to the store to buy fabric.
Thanks again,

I love your BOM. A friend from Germany too, but she got a question. What do you use to make the red flower. I told her it looks like Freezerpaper, but she don't believe it. I would love to get Your answer by mail ( Balefire123@aol.com) Thanks a lot for your help Hugs Gunda
