Hi everyone, I've been getting some e-mails about the fabric requirements for Florabunda so I thought I would do this short post about it. Here are my best guesses for the background and borders. If you followed my tutorial on Sawtooth Borders who will note that I do these borders in a very inefficient way. Hopefully that will help me out because I am over estimating the fabric. Anyway here goes:
Background fabric (blocks and sawtooth borders) 4.5 yards
Borders and sashing 4 yards
As far as applique pieces go I'm just using scraps that go with my color scheme.
I hope that helps and I apologize in advance if I've messed up.
I LOVE Florabunda. I eagerly look forward to each new block.

Hi Erin! I've just come across your blog and want to say thank you! I'm so impressed you would go to the effort and time to make this BOM available for free! Wow. You are one very generous lady! While I'd love to join in, I have plenty of projects on my plate for now. But I certainly appreciate your unselfishness, sharing your talents in this way. Your blocks and color choices are wonderful. Blessings!

Thank you for the beautiful BOM!

Thank you Erin for making these blocks available. I will get what you recommend for the background and borders, and guesstimate for the applique pieces as I don't have scraps to work from as of yet to make these beautiful works of art you design for us. I love all you do, and appreciate everything!!

I Erin, I think your Florabunda is gorgeous!!! OK, call me slow...but I must be missing the part on what size the white background squares should be. I'm assuming 12" square, is this correct?
Can't wait till your next BOM

The finished size is 12 square. Cut larger, applique and then cut to 12.5 square
Hope that helps

To echo an earlier comment, I just found out about Florabunda. I'm pretty new to applique, but can't wait to try this beautiful project. Thank you for allowing us this as a free download.

Thanks Erin - I think this looks great! I will copy it when I get home from seeing Harry Potter with the children :)

I just recently found your page. Is it possible to get all the patterns for Florabunda? How do I get the patterns for your new BOM?

Hello, Erin!
I also just found your Florabunda. I see that others have asked if the BOM is still available but I don't see your reply to the question. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Could you please advise? Thank you so much!
