Intersections

Intersection Blocks

A free tutorial at Film In The Fridge.

There''s lots of different variations on the way to make the blocks. For this quilt I'm going to consistently use 8 inch square centers and 1.5 inch strips for both rounds.  I'll be using scrap chunks to make this kiddo comfort quilt. 20 blocks needed for a 4 x 5 layout. 14 more blocks to go! 

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

Dec. 1 - A bowl of homemade chili.  

Cherry Baskets and Bramble Blooms

Cherry Basket

That's the actual name of the quilt block and I made my blocks all in cheery cherry fabrics. 

I've been big stitch hand quilting the blocks with red perle 8. 

I've also finished the wild rose and leaf needle turn applique on the second corner of my Bramble Blooms II quilt. I was going to see how I liked just doing the applique in opposing corners before I went on to do all four corners. I've decided I need to put the wild roses in all four corners. And before all is said and done I will probably add a few appliqued butterflies. 

The previous blog post about the first corner. 

Bramble  Blooms is an improv-do-your-own-thing Quilt Along hosted by Audrey at Quilty Folk.  This is my second quilt that will be a series of 3 quilts.
