August Quilt Blocks
Thursday, September 9, 2010
First up is Jess' block for the Mid Mod Quilt Bee. Jess came up with this fantastic sketch and sent each of us a different color printed fabric to use. I can't wait to see how her quilt turns out.
Next are these two blocks for Erica's quilt for bee beautiful.
Working with these vintage feedsacks and prints was such a treat! Every new piece I added to the quilt was like unearthing a new flea market find. I definitely had to incorporate this little strip that says "Patchwork Love."
I'm adding one of these style quilts to my ever-growing to do list now! But, then again, I want to make one of everything that Erica creates!

I can't wait to see that mid-mod quilt put together. The sketch looks like fun and the fabric looks great. The fabrics for your other blocks are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI love that sketch. You did a great interpretation for your block.
ReplyDeleteThose are great - I'm adding that to my someday list!
ReplyDeleteI love Erica's quilts too, and she has great taste in fabric! Your mid mod block is going to make a very interesting quilt. I spent a few hours last night searching through flickr to come up with ideas for my month (Dec), I'm still not sure yet, I didn't think this decision would be so hard!
ReplyDeleteI must learn to quilt- these are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the feedsack block - it's so wild and fun. Is it "quilt as you go"?
