Beyond The Cherry Trees Block 6

Advertisements:

I hope everyone's enjoying the blocks from the Cherry Tree quilt. It was fun taking pictures earlier this week. It's amazing what you see when a quilt is hanging and your eye takes it in all at once.

Block 6 is like the breath of Spring we're longing for in snow covered Michigan. It's filled with flowers nearly edge to edge with two multi-layer tulips at the top.



The Sally Post Floral Sampler block for March is a fun pink vase filled with flowers that would brighten anyone's day. It's actually a block I could make over and over again because it has so many color possibilities.

With all those circle flowers this block would be perfect for a Polka Dot Garden project. I'll have to give that some thought!



Retired block of the month patterns can be purchased in the Online Store.

Countdown to Beyond The Cherry Trees Quilt Block 6

Advertisements:

As Clutch and I put the finishing touches on Block 6 of our Polka Dot Garden Beyond The Cherry Trees quilt I thought you might enjoy seeing one of the photographs we took today. I got out my trusty adjustable quilt stand, shoved furniture out of the way and took over 150 pictures. Halfway through I decided to start saving for a new camera because I really want to improve the quality of the pictures I take but these aren't too bad and haven't made their way through Photoshop yet which will make improvements.

Here's the first full picture of the entire quilt. No Photoshop work on it yet. I have about 30 other shots to review before I select the final version but it's fun to look at this one and think about the fact there isn't a single machine stitch in the whole quilt!



In addition, the first four blocks are now available for purchase in the Online Store if you're just joining us in making the quilt.



The fabric requirements will remain a free download on the quilt's page but fabric requirements for the individual blocks are provided with each pattern.

Back to drawing at the light box. This month's block is a real beauty. You're going to love it!
