Every spring, Deanne is eager for gardening weather to return. She wanders through garden centers buying the most colorful blooms to put in her planters. These strip-pieced flower boxes bloom like her real ones!
We can just imagine your beautiful flowers, Deanne—thank you for sharing!
TIP: For a scrappier look, substitute 36 assorted 1½" x 20" color print strips for the color print fat eighths. If you choose this method, you’ll get three 1½" x 6½" block strips from each.
