English Garden Path Quilt Block Instructions

In my world English Gardens have beautiful plantings with amazing walkways. Roses line the flower beds, beautiful statuary and always groomed grass are what fill the lush grounds of homes and castles.

I’ve been to England once but it was in November so the gardens were not at there best, but I can only imagine what summer brings, and how pleasant it is to walk the paths of castle grounds.

The fabrics in the block are from Fig Tree Designs, for Moda Fabrics. I think those from across the pond would approve.
