This year our project for the Moda group was the Quilter's Patch quilt by Edyta Sitar. I did a few blocks and then decided that I really didn't like making the quilt. The instructions were bad, the pieces were small, the flower blocks didn't really look that great, etc. etc. So, I quit making them.
But since I had already made three of the flower blocks (delphinium, cosmo, and daylily) and the cat block, I wanted to do something with the blocks I had already made. I dreamed up a much smaller quilt that will use the blocks that I have already made (some of them slightly deconstructed) and a few more blocks thrown in as well.
This month we were supposed to make 3 flower pot blocks and the segments of the watering can that go in the border. My alternate quilt design uses 8 flower pots and the watering can as a complete block, so I made them to show at the next meeting. We were also supposed to do part of the rake and one other flower block, but I don't need them, so I didn't do them. The only other blocks I need are the butterfly blocks. I don't like the ones in the book, so I plan to make different ones, but I will wait until the butterflies are assigned before I make them.
Once I picked the book back up to make these blocks I remembered exactly why I stopped making them in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, this is an awful book. I will never buy another book or pattern by Edyta Sitar again.
