Cutting Instructions
Background fabric
Tip: I put a new blade in my rotary cutter since I am cutting through 4 to 6
layers of fabrics at a time.
Cut 20 strips 6.5" x WOF, sub-cut into six 6.5" squares from each strip a
total of 120 squares.
Cut 12 strips 1" x WOF

Cut the 6.5 inch strips into 6.5 squares. I am aligning my fabrics with the
markings on the mat and then aligning the rulers to cut all 3 set of strips at the same time. This is a big time saver but you have make sure the
alignments are correct before cutting the squares.

Now sub-cut the 120 6.5" squares diagonally into 240 Half Square triangles(HSTs). We will use these as the sashing for kites. Then trim them
using 60degree to get 120 60 degree triangles.
Flower Blocks
Pressing:
Since we will be dealing with lot of bias edges, used Best Press which keeps
the fabric from stretching. It really helped with all the cutting.
Stitch Length:
All seam allowance are 1/4 inch while sewing and I prefer to press my
seams open. To ensure that my edges don't open up, I use a smaller stitch
length of 2.0 on my Singer sewing machine.
Block1 Construction:

I am using 4 big prints from each colorway to make kites for this set of
flower blocks. Each flower block is made out of six 60 degree kites.
I also used Best Press before cutting the fabric and ironed them to take any
creases off.
Cut 2 strips of 6 inch x 21 inch from each fat quarter. Sub cut them into six
6 inch squares. You can save the rest for another project.
Now cut 6 kites for each block from the squares, I used the measurement of
8 1/4 from tip of the kite to bottom of the kite on the 60 degree triangle
ruler as shown in the picture below:

You only need six 6 inch squares from each FQ with big print. Each colorway
has 4 big prints. Total squares cut for Block 1 set would be 72.
Now cut the kites from the 6 inch print squares.

Sash the small center kites
We need a total of 10 1"x WOF(42 inches) strips for sashing all the kites. We will use two other striped fabric from different colorway. We only need to
make 8 #2 blocks for Layout 2 and Layout3.
Note:- If all your small print FQs are 21 inches long. You can make a total of
12 #2 blocks. But some of mine were smaller, so I limited myself to just
making 8 blocks.
Let the chain piecing begin.
You can scissor trim each kite and then trim them to size.

Now sew the 2.5 x 3.5 rectangle to one side of these kites. And then sew the 3.5 x 5.5 rectangle to the other side of the kite. I actually forgot to take a
picture of the 2.5 x 3.5 inch strip sewn to just one side for the sashed kite.

This was really helpful for the block to stay flat.

The layout one using just Block1 with 12 FQs. A total of 10 full flowers and 4
half flowers.
To finish these triangles sew triangles in each row together and join the
rows.
Layout 2:
This layout uses both block#1(kites cut from squares without piecing) and
block#2(pieced kites). I used all 20 blocks below. I am referring to each
hexagon flower as a hexagon block.

To finish these triangles sew triangles in each row together and join the
rows.
Layout 3 - Adding sashing to the flower blocks
I added sashing in the layout 3. You need an additional 2.5 yards of the
background fabric for this layout.
Cutting sashing for flower block center
Sub-cut the 1.5 inch strips from the background fabric into 13.5 inch strips.
We will use these for sashing the flowers.
Cutting sashing between half hexagon/flower rows
Also you would need seven 1.5 x 95 inch strip for adding sashing between
the half hexagon flowers/half rows. I had extra yardage to I cut length wise.
But if you are using 1.5x WOF(42 inches). You would need to piece 3 strips
to form 95 inches long.

Sashing all done.
We will trim the tip of the triangle 3/4 inch from the tip of the kite. When the 2 side triangles are added to the sashed triangle the alignment would just
work perfect.

I took a picture of my layout with just the center triangles gone. Then, I
paired up one side for each triangle together make two sets for either side of
the sashed triangle. Also for chain piecing I had all my center triangles in
order and the 2 sets of side triangles to go with them. Organizing ahead of
time makes it really easy for chain piecing.

While chain piecing, make sure you're joining the correct side triangles to
the center sashed triangle.
Here is how I organized them by rows and 2 sets for each sashed triangle.

Here I am aligning the longer side of the hexagon with the cutting mat (9
1/4 inch) and then trimming the excess off.
You can also use the 12" triangle ruler for trimming. I forgot to take a
picture of that. But that worked better than aligning it with the mat and a
straight ruler. Just for reference I have shown the above picture, trimming
the excess off from the half hexagon. The finished height of half hexagon
measures 9 1/4 inches.

Once you have made 2 half rows join the two using 1.5 strip by 95 inch
strip.
Tip: I extra yardage for the background fabric, so I cut my strip length wise
to avoid the stretch due to bias. You could cut these strips at the beginning
and use the rest of the fabric to cut squares and other strips.

Take a peak by opening up the half rows to make sure flower centers are
aligned correctly. There is some stretch, so you can adjust them if needed.

Splendor Garden Quilt Top
The finished quilt top measures 80/90 x 77 inches.
Other size options You can add one more row of hexagon flower to make a Queen size quilt
80/90(hexagon side) x 96 inches. Each hexagon row is made out of 5 flower
blocks, 3 full flower blocks and 4 half flower blocks.
Now make a quilt sandwich with your favorite batting and backing. And quilt
and bind as desired.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial as much as I enjoyed making this quilt. It
was lot of work but was fun too.
I would like to see the pictures if you decide to make one, so please post
pictures on my Flickr Group, Facebook, instagram, twitter and pinterest.
Happy Quilting!
