There is nothing like waiting until the last minute to do the bl0ck for the next meeting of my mini group. I worked away on this yesterday, slaving away I tell ya!
Actually, this was a very easy block to do, I was able to complete both blocks in a matter of hours. Once again, the block is from Marcia Hohn's Quilter's Cache. There was one missing measurement, tho. If you are playing along cut that large rectangle for the 12" block at 4.5"x8.5" and for the 6" block cut at 2.5"x4.5". Got that?
Now wouldn't this make a lovely label? That's how I plan to use it. And I think I'll just incorporate this into the front of the quilt and not relegate it to the backside. How fun is that? Add a bit of freezer paper to the big rectangle and then a pen drawing/doodle along with the quilt info and it's done.
That is such a bad photo, but that one really dark fabric is a micro homespun check in black and dark green. I found it in my stash. Perfect!
I really love these blocks....what a neat idea to do them in two sizes and I love the homespun look. You did a great job under pressure.....LOL
ReplyDeleteCute blocks! I love seeing them in two different sizes.
ReplyDeleteInteresting block - do you know the name of it? You are right, it would make a great label block or how about a signature swap block. Either way...nice job!
ReplyDeleteDarling! Love the idea of the blocks in 2 sizes in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou're right -- it's an absolutely perfect label!
ReplyDeleteThat a gorgeous block. I love your fabric selections.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great label, true! Great job getting them done!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Charming! by the way, sew together a bunch of those dishcloths and you get an afghan--
ReplyDeleteWell, as always I love the blocks. The fabrics just make my heart *sing* Then you throw out that it would be fun to use one for a label and I'm fairly giddy. You are a clever, clever girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use this block as a label! Love the block!
ReplyDeleteVery cute this mini block.
ReplyDeleteI like very much the mini mini block.

Those blocks are adorable. The idea of doing them in 2 sizes is fun -- are you making a small quilt that will be identical to a larger one?
