Create the Watercolor Window Blocks

Two of the floral composite blocks, each made with twelve 2-1/2" squares arranged to blend from light to dark, or frome one color to another.

Make the Watercolor Style Window Blocks

Place 12 floral squares within each rectangular opening created by frames--three across and four down in rows and columns. You'll have to overlap some squares to fit them in the frames--to allow for unsewn seam allowances between them.

Step back. Do you like the arrangement of the squares? Is there a better layout--can you shift florals around to make them blend from light to dark?

Sew Floral Squares Together

1. Once you're happy with the arrangement, sew squares for each window together in rows. Press seams in adjoining rows in opposite directions, then sew the rows together, matching seams carefully.

2. Press each floral block. Use a chalk pen or other removeable marker to mark seam intersections -- 1/4" inward at the corners of each block.
