PATCHWORK BLOCKS

I have been asked about the patchwork side of me, a while ago I made a slide of blocks which did not seem to work for many people so here are the pictures again






Just a few blocks, which have now been quilted & are part of a 30 blocks sampler type quilt, all using the colour palette of red, green & cream,  The backgrounds are varied.  There are 3 different frames & 2 sets of sashing, the same fabric in the same colour but one is darker than the other.
They will be assembled using my Quilt as you go method, which is very popular and allows for each block or series of blocks to be quilted by hand or machine before being joined together.

I shall try to gather together some of my other patchwork, both traditional & innovative
I have not forgotten about the newsletter.  I shall stitch the brain edges post from last Sunday & send the FREE instructions in the next newsletter, make sure that you sign up to receive it.
Back on Brain edges tomorrow with another offering
Hope you enjoyed seeing the quilt blocks.
I have some lovely photos to show tomorrow, pictures need the daylight, maybe sun?????
