Botanical Park Quilt Block

Have you ever thought to sew a quilt illustrating your neighborhood? What would your neighborhood quilt include? The Quilt Blog Mania designers are sharing their neighborhood quilt block patterns this month.

The complementary block I share with you depicts the entrance to a botanical park. Your choice of fabric can make the block any type of park you choose! The fabric paper piecing pattern is divided into easily sewable sections. I will embroider the word, PARK, on the center top rectangle.

For a children’s park, fuse fabric cutouts of children, bikes, and toys on the front lawn. Add a fabric strip lower on the block to indicate a roadway, perhaps fuse cutouts of cars going past the walkway of the park. The wall of the park can have climbing vines, fence boards, or even graffiti! The choices are many. What will you design?
