As promised here is Florabunda Block 4.The pattern has two formats. 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.

Hi Erin:
I must be doing something wrong with pressing the pieces before I applique them. They are sticking to my iron and the shape always comes out distorted. I had to draw the last two on the back and do needle turn applique. Any suggestion?
Thank you for sharing your blocks. They are really beautiful.

Sometimes this happens when the iron is too hot
Try to use a dry iron (no steam) on the medium setting
Hope that helps

Erin,
I love your color sense! This quilt just keeps getting better and better. I've only been saving the blocks but I think I'm going to have to start prepping and sewing.
I do have a question though. I'd like to stay with a family of colors; I just bought some 1/2 yd pieces from Sew Batik. How much of each color do you think will be needed for the 13 blocks?

I keep getting an error when I try to download the full sized pattern ... Adobe give me this error: "There was error opening this document. This file cannot be found." Is anyone else having this problem? I am able to download the 1/4 size pattern w/o any problems. Thanks!

I love Florabunda! Awesome colors! I'm so glad I found your site. I'm not seeing the Specifics for Block 5. Am I missing it or is it missing?
Posted by: Diane Jones | 08/26/2010 at 11:01 AM
I didnt do any specifics for that one, nothing too tricky there
Glad you like the blog
