  1. Granny Square blocks are my favorite. Just finished another quilt. I love these creatures. It’s too bad Accuquilt dies are so expensive. I do love them.

  2. Kris – -I love this – would be a great addition to my sewing room in Florida! My favorite quilt block would be the Log Cabin or Ohio Star – Lots of possibilities for each!

  3. You have to watch their specials. Right now there is a 20% off sale, plus free shipping, which is pretty good. Plus if you buy from their site, you get the points which gives you free stuff. But you are right, there is no way around the fact the dies are expensive.

  4. Kris, this is such a sweet row, and so many options. Thanks . And you are right, I was humming along. The little sub nearly did me in! (oh such wonderful memories.)

  5. Thank you for this wonderful block! Sea creatures are my favorite so I can’t wait to try this.

  6. I love how you wrote this post along with the great tutorial with making the pattern. I enjoyed learning and watching the animals and sea life also. I’m so happy you joined us for another row along year…

  7. Thank you! That was quite the entertaining tutorial! And I don’t have a favorite block pattern.

  8. I love the under the sea garden party! So cute! I sure miss the beach this year. This made me feel a little better about it.
    My favorite block is the log cabin. There are so many ways to lay it out.

  9. What a fun block full of sea life…thank you for sharing! Picking a favorite block is way too hard because they are all amazing.

  10. oh my i love your Octopus Garden. this is going to be so fun to make. thank you for sharing the pattern. thank you for inspiring oh and thank you for sharing the song (haven’t heard that one in ages lol) for all the wonderful information and videos

  11. Yes. Octopuses Garden is now stuck in my head. Loved the pattern and motifs but the absolute best part is reading about the creatures from a third graders lessons and the tips for customizing like the cotton ball or squeaky toy under the items.
    Good for a bedroom wall hanging.
    Thanks for the post and all your hard work.

  12. Great take on the Garden Party theme. I have some ocean fabric somewhere that would be perfect for this. I hope I have enough of it left. Thank you for such a neat pattern.

    I don’t really have a favorite block, but I do like log cabins a lot.

  13. Wow, I love your sea life photos. My mom lives by the beach and I am always find it interesting to walk along the shore and see what I can see while I’m there. On occasion there are dolphins, and I always find sand dollars. Last time there were 3 dead jelly fish and yes, I left them alone! My favorite block is probably the log cabin. There are so many ways to use that block. Thanks for sharing!

  14. I just want to say this is one of the most interesting RAL sites I’ve been too. All the information is so well provided and the “extras” are so interesting. Thank you. Flying Geese is my all-time favorite block. A big thank you to Marian and the sponsors of the hop.

  15. I love the wedding ring block. Love your idea for the Octopus Garden . I already have some applique fish I could combine with your patterns. Thanks for sharing with us!

  16. I had no idea that octopuses (octopi?) make gardens! I figured that song was inspired by some kind of substance he might have ingested….sorry, Ringo! Thank you for this fun block, I may have to make a yellow submarine!

  17. Wow, amazing “block” and wonderful infirmation! Thanks so much. I would have said my fav. Quilt Block was either churn dash or log csbin, but tonight it’s octopus gardens!!!

  18. My favorite block is friendship star. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials you made about the ocean creatures. I can’t wait to share with my grandsons.

  19. Kris your octopus garden is so whimsical, bright and fun. I love it. Thanks for the ear worm. It will likely stick with me for a few days! I love the churn dash but just last week did another block which is even more fun but I don’t think it has a name 😉

  20. Super! It was fun doing the zoom classes with my grandson, I am glad someone else can use those worksheets. I took the homework section off the PDF though:-))

  21. Love the idea of the squeaky toy inserted in the applique. My favorite block is the feathered star.

  23. What a fun way to look at those wonderful scenic prints. Love how you have made it your own. Thanks for a fun read too. I love ocean life!

  24. Oh this was a totally different kind of garden. I have been dreaming of doing a large underwater wall hanging for my aquarium loving husband. This may give me the start that I need.

  25. Love your blog post and your different take on a garden party. Thanks for sharing your pattern.

  26. Such a fun idea for a Garden block!!!!! I made a queen-sized quilt inspired by Octopus’s Garden last year! Not at all like your row, but lots of sea animal applique. Very fun!

  27. So different, a garden in the sea – the appliques are wonderful, everything I could ever want. An octopus, sea horse, sea turtle, starfish . . . awesome! I’m so looking forward to this row. Thank you very much.
