| Designing 12"x12" Quilt Blocks for a Home Quilt to hang in my studio. This English Cottage is my favorite so far |
 |
| I'm using different fabrics or combination of fabrics on each one. |
 |
| I plan to use some black or dark navy fabric on each one for continuity and use black strips between the blocks. This is the first block I created, using the block below as a guide. |
 |
| This precious and "Neat" Mini Christmas Quilt Block was made for me by blogger friend, Ellen on ellengetscrafty blog in 2011. I will include it in my quilt also. |
 |
| Here are three blocks in different stages. I form the 3+layer foundation (back fabric which also wraps around as it's binding, low loft batting in the middle and a variety of top fabrics) Then I machine stitch(regular stitch allover it, using different styles on each fabric) It is so fun picking out the different fabrics for backround and house and trees! Hope you'll give this a try. Making just one for a mini wall hanging or pillow top would give you a taste of the experience! |

super cute Marlynne!!! Send me one that measures 8x10...and I will send an art quilt that size ...I have made back to you :):)
I'm in love with these Marlynne! This is exactly the kind of thing I want to learn how to do! I must get over my fear of the sewing machine!!!
Let me know if you ever "set up shop", and start selling single ones. Or, if I win the lottery possibly I could hire you to make me a whole quilt! LOL
REALLY loved this post! :)

Great blocks Marlynne, what fun!

I've always loved these quilt blocks that make a picture or tell a story. Yours are lovely.
