HI!!!!
Welcome to The Garden Party Row Along! My name is Lissa, and I am thrilled to present to you my row, Children’s Garden Aglow.
My inspiration came from the fairly new Children’s Garden at a local Conservatory. In the winter they host a Garden Aglow program where the conservatory is lit up in spectacular color. To enter the Children’s Garden you walk through a brilliantly lit rainbow tunnel.
The flower blocks are wonderfully simple as you DO NOT HAVE TO MATCH POINTS! This is a planned improv technique and can be so liberating. The resulting flowers remind me of flowers drawn by children.
Love the flowers, but not sure how to fit my row in with others? You can just take the single flower pattern to make a block of any size to fit in empty spots on your quilt. So Versatile!!

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Amazing pattern!! I read the rules for the drawings.
Such a cute block! Love the size gradient- and the non matching! Thanks for sharing! I read all the rules Mumbird3atgmaildotcom
I agree this is a versatile pattern. You can do so many things with it, You mentioned it as a filler, but you could also use it as a 4 patch block, or vertically. It’s just a well thought out pattern and such a clever way to do it with having seams that don’t have to match. I am so happy you joined us for the row along this year Lissa, and hopefully, you might consider doing it again next year.
