1
00:00:00,674 --> 00:00:04,097
- The materials for the floral block begin with the fabrics.

2
00:00:04,097 --> 00:00:06,107
I chose a sort of soft, pale print

3
00:00:06,107 --> 00:00:07,703
for the foundation of the fabric.

4
00:00:07,703 --> 00:00:10,265
And the block itself is gonna be about 12 1/2 inches,

5
00:00:10,265 --> 00:00:11,922
so you'll want about a third of a yard

6
00:00:11,922 --> 00:00:13,353
to cut one of those out.

7
00:00:13,353 --> 00:00:16,783
I also chose two stem-colored and leaf-colored fabrics.

8
00:00:16,783 --> 00:00:19,881
I'm gonna use a mix of those to create the stem and leaves.

9
00:00:19,881 --> 00:00:22,402
And then I've pulled some of my very favorite florals

10
00:00:22,402 --> 00:00:23,503
'cause I thought it would be pretty

11
00:00:23,503 --> 00:00:27,327
to cut out that simple circle from a really intense floral.

12
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:29,740
I have those paper templates ready to go,

13
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:30,574
a pencil.

14
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:33,276
I've got my cutting tools, which include scissors,

15
00:00:33,276 --> 00:00:35,159
as well as a rotary cutter and mat,

16
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,301
and two measuring grids.

17
00:00:36,301 --> 00:00:38,752
I've got the 12 1/2 inch one that makes it really simple

18
00:00:38,752 --> 00:00:40,595
to cut out the whole block shape.

19
00:00:40,595 --> 00:00:41,985
I've got some straight pins.

20
00:00:41,985 --> 00:00:44,758
And I've also pulled aside some pretty colors of thread

21
00:00:44,758 --> 00:00:46,688
in case you want to do something interesting

22
00:00:46,688 --> 00:00:48,003
with the applique stitch.

23
00:00:48,003 --> 00:00:50,228
You'll also need an iron and ironing surface

24
00:00:50,228 --> 00:00:51,978
and a sewing machine.
