These exquisite quilt blocks will make a beautiful quilt. The elements from the Spring Potpourri collection have a purity and simplicity that quilting enhances. Four of the blocks embroidered together will form a 'Dresden' for the centre of your quilt. I suggest that you add simple sashing between the blocks and leave enough space around each block so the quilt is not crowded.

When testing these blocks I cut 12 inch squares of batting and silk dupion which was interfaced with Floriani Dream weave to prevent the silk from fraying. One layer of Sulky soft and sheer stabilizer was placed inside my hoop and the other layers were floated on top, held in place with temporary adhesive spray before being secured with a box of running stitches which is included in the designs. If you feel confident you may reduce the size of your prepared layers to 10 or 11 inches to avoid waste. I prefer to add the backing fabric after the embroidery block is finished.
