Here are a few of my latest Splendid Sampler blocks.
Basket #18
measure twice, cut once. #19
This was a bonus block that came out on Easter. A bit intimidating to me as I have never done applique this intricate by hand. But it was too cute not to try and this project is all about learning new things and going a outside of our comfort zone. It's just one 6 inch block and not a whole queen sized quilt. I can do this! (right?) I had to break out of my 30's fabrics with the bunnies. I just couldn't do a pink bunny with little kids playing on it!
#21-This is the candy block. I love those strawberry candies where the wrapper looks like a strawberry, so that was what I was going for with this one. This simple block was very welcomed after a few intricate ones.
Another bonus block--Earth Day! I machine appliqued this one. ;) I even tilted it on it's axis.
Block #16 Pieces of Friendship
Block #15-This one was paper pieced. I love this block design! We are officially 1/4 of the way through as block #26 was just posted today. A Dresden! You can find all the block patterns here.
I attended a baby shower a couple weeks ago where we all got henna tattoos. Kinda looks like a quilting design! I've never gotten a henna tattoo before (or a regular tattoo for that matter.) and it was kinda fun! It's been a couple of weeks now and it has pretty much faded into my freckled oblivion. But I sure enjoyed it while it lasted!
Your blocks are beautiful and there are so many of them! Thanks for the close up photos so that we can really appreciate the fabrics.
