Designer and teacher Bonnie Hunter has a column in Quiltmaker magazine each issue called Addicted to Scraps, where she introduces a scrap-friendly block. In a recent issue her block was this one - called Blossom Time. While my husband was watching the finale of Game of Thrones Sunday night, I was diving into the scraps to make a couple of these.
One slight problem with the pattern? The magazine printed it saying the block would finish at 9" instead of the real measurement of 6". Once I got past my initial panic about the block size, then making the second block was actually fun.
Bonnie does a live online event called Quilt Cam about once each month and Saturday's was all about this block. I watched the video later that afternoon and was definitely inspired to go play in the scrap bins. Check out this video and many, many more on Bonnie's blog.

Cute block! Hope that snow is missing you:)
I watched quilt cam yesterday and it sure made my day. Your blocks are beautiful. I'm packing to go camping, so I'm taking quilts I know I can finish there.
Cute blocks! This will look great with your other flower blocks. Before long you'll have a flower garden complete with a white picket fence border.
