Patchwork Passion 52er

You might like to join us in a new project for 2019.

"Patchwork Passion 52er"

Make one block every week for a year

Use indigo fabrics or any other colour theme of your choice

Cut your backgrounds 5½” square

Finished squares will be 5”

Finished quilt 30” by 45”

6 blocks across

9 blocks down

54 blocks in total

First and last are blank

I am doing two of these - one from my old indigo collection

And one in Woad Blue and Linen

Each week or month I will post my new blocks for each project to give you ideas

when you have a block, but hopefully you will have fun raiding your stash 

of bits and pieces and creating your own.

First indigo one - a subtle sashiko cherry blossom

This is as great one for when your week is too busy - a fussy cut piece of fabric

A piece of Indian Block Printed fabric fussy cut with some sashiko stitching added

Look for fabrics that you can fussy cut

A simple pieced block with a frayed edge patch and some sashiko stitching

Now for the Woad Blue and Linen set

A piece cut off an old doily - age spots and all.

I stitched down all the edges.

Three motifs from my stash with embroidered stems and leaves, 

appliqued on and then a line of blue back stitch with 4 strands of embroidery 

thread around each centre oval.

A fussy cut piece of fabric

An old piece of linen that I dyed blue - love the fancy edging.

The embroidered lavender plants - back stitch stems and 

Lazy Daisy flowers

Don't forget to send me your favourite blocks so they can be added to the Blog.-

someone each month will receive a goody to add to their quilt.

I will work a month ahead so you ideas for each month is advance.

Back soon
