Seed Tray

Do  you love the feeling of possibilities that comes along with planting seeds?  I know I do.  That was the inspiration behind this, the latest block in my gardening series.  This is block number 6.  Five of the blocks are for sale in my shop and the other is a free download from my sidebar.

I have to admit to being as excited to see these little seedlings burst forth as I am about the real thing.

Whenever I plant seeds, I always include Basil because I love homemade pesto.  That’s why I chose to label these seedlings as such.

I toiled over the fabric choices for this block. I even begged my mom to come over and look at fabrics with me.  It was hard but I really love the choices that we settled on.

Fabrics:
Flea Market Fancy Pink Eyelet available at the Fat Quarter Shop and Sew Fresh Fabrics
Moda Etchings Script also at the Fat Quarter Shop
BasicGrey grunge prints: one in black for the soil and the other in cream for the label
Heath in Chocolate by Alexander Henry Fabrics from Sew Fresh Fabrics
Assorted green prints from Ayumi’s shop

I hope you like it!  I am anxious to make another mosaic now that I have six blocks, to see how they all look together.  I will come back to share that soon.
