Here's my second block in Jacquelynne Steves' free block of the month series:
 |
| Without applique' |
I'm keeping this one sew sweet and simple, using ADORNit's Crazy for Daisies cuteness. The prints just seem to suit Jacquelynne's sweet designs. And look! My favorite little hourglass appeared in the corners when I changed up the color placement a little. Then I cu
t out the simple applique' with my Go! Baby.
I'm going for similar feel for each block, so I'm picking out the star elements in each pattern to give a strong focus with the cheery cherry red print.

ReplyDeletelove the fussy cut center.
ReplyDeleteBoth blocks are so nice and your piecing is perfection!
ReplyDeleteDeonn, both of your blocks are delightful!
ReplyDeleteI have that GO! die that you used to make your flower. Heck, why didn't I think of that? Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for the BOM but haven't made a block yet. I keep meaning to get to it, but holiday crafting has taken all my free time so far. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love the fabric that you're using for the center! So interesting, and really complements the appliques :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics. The quilt will be very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your blocks. I am doing this BOM and it is fun. I decided to do needle turn applique and am quite challenged with that as it has been several years since I did any. I decided to look at a youtube video before starting the second one and I think that helped me understand it a little better.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look very lively and colorful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I just signed up for the BOM -- my first one. These blocks are so beautiful. sarah@forrussia.org

ReplyDeleteI just got the fabric in the mail and have printed the patterns, I'm starting tomorrow for sure. I think I'll hand applique my centers but I do love the way you did yours.
