How about a couple of blocks this week?
These are called Bitty Blocks and are from Quiltmaker. Click here for a good little tutorial on making these Friendship Star blocks. They have more small blocks...just follow their links. They are a great size for borders, too.
This is the Turning Twenty Again block....the big block. The pin says I uploaded it, but not so. And I am not sure where I snagged it from. Before I get jumped on for copyright....save the photo and print it for your library.
Anyway, I get asked for info on this one a lot, so here it is. By using 20 fat quarters, you can create a large quilt in a weekend....easily. Twelve blocks makes a nice size throw quilt.
Fabric selection is important here. It works wonderful for batiks. I made Autumn's Carpet using this pattern. Use a focal print and coordinate other fabrics-----not using strong contrast lets the fabric do the work.
From Craftsy......beautiful applique patterns. I could not resist those swirls. Just viewing them is wonderful inspiration to add some zing to seasonal projects......which I need to get busy on.
I thought this was so clever! To keep your ribbons in check and organized, place them in a bin with holes on the sides. The ribbon ends are feed thru the holes for easy access. Check out the other So Clever ideas.
And that's a wrap for the week of Finds. As always, please visit the original source for pinning.
The sewing room is in total disarray as I am getting all the small stuff together to take for the class on Tuesday. The quilts are sorted and stacked.....it is all the other stuff I need to take! I feel like I am packing to move, but that's not so.
Hopefully, I will get some time to stitch up a few more of those orange peels......the stack is growing.
Happy stitching.

The "uploaded by pinner" thing on pinterest makes me a little crazy, I see things all the time I'd like to pin but won't because of it. I love the applique from Craftsy, it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the Bitty Block pattern link. I can see a lot of places where this star can be used. So simple and so effective. Love these Friday Finds, and look forward to them each week.
ReplyDeleteIt always looks like I'm moving out when I go to a class! I love friendship star blocks.
