I finished the Berry Basket block for Green Tea and Sweet Beans. This was a fun block to make. Not too many pieces so it went fast! I use the freezer paper method for applique. I iron freezer paper to the wrong side of the fabric and baste. Once prepared, I can applique onto the background. Very relaxing and it lets me watch television guilt free!
I have 4 different blocks left to make for this quilt. However, there's a large appliqued border when the body of the quilt is finished. I don't think there will be a quick end to this quilt!
This is my next project to quilt for Quilts for Kids. This quilt was made by the same friend who made the owl quilt I just finished for Quilts for Kids. She has a great blog which you can visit here.
You'll see what a wonderful quilter she is!
Hope you have a nice weekend. I'm working tomorrow but will be off Sunday. Not too bad!
love that little turquoise quilt. hmmmm wonder if I have enough squares of that color to make one....... trying to use up the stash......
ReplyDeleteThanks! Any pattern is great when you can use up those darn scraps!!
DeleteLove love love that basket--so cute--freezer paper method is my preferred also. Only instead of thread basting, I use spray starch to "baste" the seam allowance over the paper--and my little craft iron to hold it in place.
ReplyDeleteYour 9-patch piece turned out so well, too. hugs for a happy weekend Julierose (making labels!!)
Thanks, Julierose! I should try using spray starch to glue it down. I've seen that method before. Maybe next time!
DeleteThose Green Tea and Sweet Beans blocks are so cute!
ReplyDeleteSomething very familiar about that lime and teal quilt! ;-)
Green Tea and Sweet Beans has so many different blocks! I'm sure that quilt looks very familiar to you!!
