Kathy, over at Sewing Etc., will be snickering after I announce my latest project. Kathy was looking for a new BOM to play with, and I snubbly said that I wasn’t going to fall into that trap.
Uh huh.
Famous last words and all that.
While blog surfing (my mistake, I know), I came upon a QAL that I found irresistible.
Partners in Design is offering a free QAL called Sew Lets Quilt. The first block is a sewing machine. You can see Snowy Days version here.
Here is my version of the block:
The block was fun to make!
I have a couple of embellishments to finish. The buttons are not attached, and I have marked where I want the thread to be embroidered. I am not embroidering the thread until I decide if I want to apply it by hand, or perhaps, machine quilt it later.
The nine patch is a left over unit from making Bonnie Hunter’s On Ringo Lake mystery quilt. I think it fits well into this block!

Love it!! Especially that “extra” block from ORL !! I do the same thing…mystery quilt, multiple sizes…start out with a table topper and now I have enough to go full on KING size. Enjoy!

Ha, ha! Why is it that we think we are going to make something small and keep adding to it until it becomes enormous?! 🙂

There is a sucker born every minute … and sometimes they make beautiful quilts when they get sucked in. I love the first block!

Yup. I admit to being easily enticed, Judy. 🙂
I love this block, too. Maybe I could make a small wall hanging, or a pillow, instead of a king-sized quilt. Ha, ha!

I’m a sucker also, but this year my goal is to finish my UFO’s first. So far I’ve held strong, but I loooove that block. It looks so fun.

Cherie, I have been focused for a long time on getting my UFO’s completed. I guess I needed a little time out. This block is fun…I’ve seen lots of great versions! 🙂

Hee Hee! I confess I looked long and hard at that BOM, and I might even have set up a file to save the blocks, but I decided to go with “A Flower Bouquet” instead. Have fun with it Laura!
