--6 ½ inch X 6 ½ inch white fabric square 100% cotton

--embroider any flower you personally like on the square leaving ½ inch seam allowance around outside of block

--using only one color of red embroidery thread (avoid burgundy, wine, maroon, etc)

This month our block will feature at least one of your favorite flowers. If you have more than one favorite, please feel free to embroider a variety on the block. Fill up as much of the allotted space as possible.

Do your best work and be sure to leave a ½ inch seam allowance along the outsides of the 6 ½ inch X 6 ½” white fabric square so that it can be assembled in a project and not lose any of the stitches in the seams.
