Pink Green Quilt Block
A Quilt that Blossoms in Your Lap
You are going to make a finishing quilt measuring 36 x 51 inch with the finishing 8 x 13 inch block. You will need sewing materials to complete your mission.
What materials to purchase: 1/4 yard of fabric. (Greens; at least eight different shades) The green fabric will make your foliage. Purchase 3/4 yards of background fabric. Creamy colors or your choice of colors: If you want the blossom lap however, choose the creams. Buy 1/2 yard of floral in a variety of colors and shades. The material will be used to create your external borders. Buy 1/4 yard of pink fabrics. Purchase up to eight or nine shade variety. The materials are needed to make your blossoms, or flowers. Purchase scraps of yellow assorted prints. You will use these scraps to make the center flowers. You will need 1/3 yard fabric, shaded yellow to finish your internal borders. Purchase 40 x 55 inches (I yard) of part fabrics that match to create your background. You will need 1 yard of 40 x 55 inches to create your inner area, therefore purchase the measure of low-loft batting. Purchase six yards of binding material, preferably green and some all-purpose filaments/thread to coordinate with your green, yellow, pink, creamy colors, etc.
Purchase a transparent craft ruler, rotary cutter, scissors, needles, etc so that you have all your materials together to complete your blossom.
Once you purchase your materials, start trimming your parts. You will need to snip narrow pieces of your material to create borders. The material will make up your sashing as well. Your floral fabric is needed to create two A-Borders at 3 1/2 x 45 1/2 inches, as well as two B-Borders at 3 1/2 x 36 1/2 inches. Use your yellow fabric to create C and D borders. You will need two each, which the C will measure at 1 1/2 x 43 1/2 inch, and the D at 1 1/2 x 28 1/2 inches. The creamy colors are used in sashing E and F. E should value 12 at 1 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches, and the F should value at four, 1 1/2 x 28 1/2 inches.
Use the guide and trim the cream fabric creating G, cutting eight small squares per block valuing 72 and sizing at 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch. You will need 36 H blocks at 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches large per foursquare blocks. Use your pinks to make eighteen I-blocks at 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches over squares to make two counts per block. Make your J-blocks as you did the I-blocks, using the same measures. Create K-block using your pink fabric cutting 36 narrow pieces to form four strips per block at 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Cut L-block in the same method as you did the K block.
Use your yellow print and cut M-block. You will need four blocks per center equally 72 and the pieces should be 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch. Next, use the creams to form N and Q block. N should have a value of nine and bands per block at 1 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. The Q block should have units, i.e. 18 parts and two units per block. Measurements should be 2 7/8x2-7/8. Cut your green prints. Form O-block using the amount of 27 to craft #1 green block, cutting three for each block at 2 7/8 x 2 7/8. Do the same for your P-block.
Now you are ready to start crafting your blossom quilt to keep your lap warm.

Wrong bedroom color how do I fix it?
I'm almost 30 but my bedroom looks like it is more suited for a 5 year old. I got my inspiration from my quilt which is tan with blocks sewn into it and in each block is a ring of tiny rosettes in various rose colors from light pink to dark red, and some sage green ribbon pieces as "foliage". I brought the bedspread to the paint store and got what I thought would be the medium rosey pink color but once it was on the walls and dried it was what we joke about as "ballerina slipper pink" with my white floor and white dresser it's pitiful. My friends all laugh that my room is a single woman's girly-ness gone wrong, I should hand unicorn posters on the wall and I'm really embarassed to bring a date home ever it's that childish.
How do I fix it? Willing to repaint, I hate white walls & am keeping the bed spread.
Ok you have me laughing so hard my husband looked over at me and said WHAT? And I couldn't explain it...he's a guy I don't think I could ever explain it.
Ok as I see it here's your pitfall. You tried to create a vintage shabby chic look and it ended up looking like ......you forgot to put out the stuffed animals and the Barbies. Pulling this look off without it being to girly is a feat. You have to actually mash a few colors. So.....
Go a provincial yellow on the walls. http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0233DY&cid=PC&language=en-GB The trim should be a flat white.
Add a deep sage green throw blanket at the bottom of the bed.
Bring in some coral with area rug throws http://www.inweavefabric.com/24-x-36-pink-throw-rug-1002.html
Add a decorative earthenware terracotta window box on the sill and galvanized floor vases. http://hudsongoodsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/galvanized-steel-vase.jpg http://static2.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/3/5/6/large2/6535645.jpg
Put shutters on the window.....http://www.natalieplans.com/Natalie/window_shutter.jpg you can make these out of lattice. (Honestly they are super easy - cut the lattice and nail a 1 x 3" frame around it.)
Hang a bunch of dried roses upside down on the wall with a ribbon to match the bed throw. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/151/335763074_1bb7354500.jpg?v=0
Get a funky antique bed lamp http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EC78OBWF7xc/SaF7gU0b7II/AAAAAAAAAls/RMu5qtr4sLk/s400/orange6
Put a shelf across the window and set up multiple colored glass bottles or use food color in water http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F3TBy-muIM0/SpSyEHDFznI/AAAAAAAAANw/6S0rBu3rqPE/s320/color+jars+(2).jpg
If you realize how easy it is to make the shutters you can also make a bifold screen. These look great at the top or bottom of the bed or in a corner. Hang some straw hats off the screen. http://www.ginnys.com/Furniture/Free-Standing-Lattice-Screen.pro?fpi=38549&catCd=JI&keyword=lattice&size=7&pageName=GB%3ASearch%3ASearch+Results
