It is the Prim and Proper Quilt Sew Along Week 2 and this week we are making sweet little leaf blocks!
Last week in the sew along we sewed up our three flower blocks – they turned out so cute! This week we are sewing the first leaf section for the vase – this block goes between the flower blocks.
I’m using Golden Aster fabrics (aff link) for my main prints and my background fabric is Blossom in All the Pinks. They look so great together!
I decided to use the grays and navys from Golden Aster for the leaf and stem sections of the quilt. I think they work well, don’t you?
Prim and Proper Quilt Sew Along Week 2
This block is super quick to sew up! If you haven’t started the sew along yet you can absolutely still join in. You can pick up the book at Fat Quarter Shop here. There are several cute coordinating projects in the book as well as the quilt. I think my next one will be that fun cross stitch runner on the cover!
You can visit Fat Quarter Shop this week to see all the other blogger’s leaf blocks and find out who is hosting the giveaway for the week! It’s super easy to enter – just post a photo of your progress on Instagram and use the hashtag #PrimandProperSewAlong!

I’m still trying to decide on what fabric I’m using for my outer border. I’m thinking either a light pink or a gold. What do you think? I think either will look awesome!
I can’t wait to see your blocks!
It ‘sew’ different in these fabric choices…in good way! I just never would have thought of putting it together like this. I am so incredibly interested in seeing how this will all come together. I am doing the traditional fabric choices…not by any means an expert so going slower. I did figure out how to get the line to match in the same direction on leaf…on the remake. There is a lot to be said about NOT using stripes!
I am absolutely loving what you’re doing here. I love the Golden aster fabric. I’ve got a bundle and was going to do the Novastar quilt with it (a bit more modern and a first for me, direction wise). I’m still playing catch up on this..Have been in a sewing/cutting funk. Have the flowers cut out and hope to get flowers/stems all done on my next days off. I’m doing in a variety of Tilda fabrics and hoping my small pink dot fabric isn’t too busy. We’ll see. Excited to see how all of them turn out!
