October's block for quilts around the world

 

 

 

 

 

 

October's block is called "Scrappy Granny Square Quilt Block" and this was made for the Queen Bee that live in Tucson Arizona .

 

The criteria was bright colours with a white background and boarded in a solid colour. We could choose any 2 main colours and then have shades of those colour to make up the block. Again the block finished as to be 12.5 inches square.

 

The reason mine is doubled sashed (boarded) is I did not have enough blue fabric to make a wide boarder so I added the red. Which the Queen Bee loves and the block is very different from the others I have seen.

 

but this is the fun of doing a quilt from around the world each block will be so different.

 

I have never made a block like this and it was fun. So far all but one block is new to me and I have learn so much while taking part in quilts fro around the world.

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by ...... see you soon.....

 

Keep sewing .........

 

September's block for quilts around the world.

 

Septembers block was made for Queen Bee who lives in Oregon USA.

She asked for a block which is referred to as a "Slab Block". its a bit like log cabin with its solid colour in the centre but you don't stick with the same size of strips to make this block.

 

The criteria was bright colours with a white block somewhere in the middle. The size and lay out of the block was up to us, as long as the overall size measures 12.5 inches square.

 

So off I went designing the lay out and strip sizes, then I looked for fabric, loved the owl fabric so I just had to add some. As it turns out the Queen Bee loves Owls too... win win...

 

I have never made this block before. It was fun and I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

 

Thanks for stopping by  and I shall see you sooon

April's quilt around the world block.

Here is Aprils block I completed. Its called......well it does not have a name its just referred to as "Simple Triangle block"

 

 

The Queen for the month lives in the USA and wanted this block to be made from bright, bold, patterned or solid fabric but no pastels. Which is understandable as this block looks good in bold colours. I can't wait to see the whole quilt when its finished. Only 8 months to go before its my turn to choose a block!!!!!!!!!!! no pressure yet!

 

May's Queen was a little late publishing her block but its done now and I'm off to look for fabric. I've heard the colours are purple, green and white. Any shades. So off I go see you soon and thanks for dropping by......................

 

Keep sewing.
