Spring Buttercups

Things are starting to bloom in the garden, particularly my peonies and irises, and Buttercups are in bloom on my sewing table.

These little buds will be added to the orphan blocks going to Quilts for Survivors in the fall (yes, I know specially made isn't usually how 'orphans' come to be, but it is a great excuse to try something new without committing to a larger project).

The blocks are 6" finished and sweet as can be. They would be lovely on point scattered across a quilt top in various shades of pink and green or worked into a border.

You can also make the block with a stem but I prefer the openness of the block without it....M
