WIP-Wednesday

Le Anne over at Podunk Pretties is having a Back Porch Blooms quilt along.  She made up this darling block and offering a free tutorial/pattern for it. I had to join in as it is just too darn cute! You can learn more about it here.

I was originally planning on using my 30's fabrics for it, but I just didn't have the right solid blue to go with my prints. So off to Hobby Lobby to check out their solids and nope they didn't have what I wanted either. Of course when you are in the midst of fabric you can't help but look around a bit, right?  I found this brown print and orange polka dot and I couldn't resist. I knew I had coordinates that would work at home.  I am loving it!!  My leaves got a little skinnier than they were supposed to be. That is what happens when you do not read carefully and think you know what you are doing! I used the wrong size background sqs. but didn't realize it until it was too late. Oh well he just has skinnier leaves-it still works;-)   Le Anne warns these are a bit addictive and I believe her, I wantta make more!!

  7. Perfect fabrics for this block. It turned out beautifully. I'm planning on making 6 for my project and using my 1930 reproductions for my quilt along project.

  9. That is pretty adorable; I can see turning one into a tea cosy and giving it to my mum! I SO can relate to your sentence:
    "Of course when you are in the midst of fabric you can't help but look around a bit, right?" and get a bit lost...but it's such great therapy, no?
