Vintage Flower Sampler Quilt Book

 Sometimes a quilter just needs a new book full of pretty pictures.  I've been eyeing this quilt book since before it's release in 2023.  

I had to have it for no other reason than it's so darn cute.  The chances of me making anything from this book is slim but I do enjoy flipping through the pages.

There is one block I would like to make.  Not just one but an entire quilt.  It would be quite the undertaking for me as I don't like curved seams. 

So the templates have been traced, cut and are waiting for me to take the plunge.  Maybe next year.

And of course this block caught my eye.  You know how I love anything with cherries.

The book also has few project patterns for using the blocks.  Of course you could use any of the blocks in the projects.  The pillow below would look really cute with cherries in the middle of the applique border.

Atsuko Matsuyama is also a fabric designer.  The most darling fabric you have ever seen.  I've found it in a few Etsy shops.  The cost is a little higher than the typical quilt shop quality fabric.  Here's a few of my favorite prints found at an online shop called Sunny Day supply.  Sunny Day also has her books.

Well that's enough daydreaming for one day.  It's time to get busy!
