This quilt is taking much longer than I expected, but I guess that happens when you loose interest in something before you get finished. I have learned from doing different projects that I prefer using pre-cut fabrics as to avoid having to cut out so many pieces for 1 block.

Block 6 is called The Stem and appeared like it would be easy to complete, but I found out real quick like that it was much more difficult than expected. After ripping it apart three times I give up and said enough is enough. I might redo it before I quilt it, but for now I am leaving it as is. The petals are supposed to match up on the stem on each side of the block, but as you can see mine do not.

For this block I was supposed to choose (3) red (1) orange, (2) blue, (1) cream with green, (2) yellow, (2) grey and (1) green. Plus another green for the stems. I pretty much stuck with the prints in the sampler quilt on the cover of the pattern.

Maybe the next block will a little easier.
