HAVE I TOLD YOU HOW MUCH I LIKE APPLIQUE?

I didn’t get any sewing done this weekend.  Attending ArtPrize and entertaining company from Pittsburgh kept me too busy.  However, I did want to show you this block above.  I saw a quilt that I liked while on the Bus Tour last February.   Unfortunately, I did not get the name of the pattern.  What I remembered were big flowers on a large scrappy background.  I love appliqué and decided I could create this design myself.  My block is 14” square.  I like how it turned out and hope to get some more blocks made soon.  I think three of these blocks in a row would make a nice wall hanging on a narrow wall in my hall.  Or add a few more blocks and it would be a nice bed runner.  I’d still like to make several blocks, maybe nine in all, and make a nice size wall hanging.  I’ll keep you posted.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:  City House Studio has a tutorial for a scrappy sticks block.  This would be a great way to use up those narrow pieces of fabric that you don’t know what to do with and don’t have the heart to throw away.

Until next time,
