Flower Burst

This pattern was inspired by my Large Flat Flower Motif. Ever since I created it, I’ve wanted to make a square using it as the center. This seemed like the time. I love the colors and the final look. It would be great for a blanket as a square you repeat, or as part of a sampler blanket. You could even make a table runner with a string of them. Enjoy this pretty floral square!

The yarn used in this pattern was provided by Red Heat Yarns.
