Birthday Cake Quilt Block

Happy Birthday to You!

Did you know that June 27 is Happy Birthday to You Day? It must be for celebrating a birthday without having to count the years.

Or maybe it is for all of the pets in the world whose owners don’t know their real birthday.

Whichever it is, here is a Birthday Cake quilt block which is easy to sew.

Visit www.QuiltBlockLibrary.com for a free download of a pattern for the block as well as a pattern for a fabric postcard with the Birthday Cake quilt block on it.

Happy Birthday and Happy Quilting!

Rolling Star Quilt Block - fabric postcard

Most any quilt block can be converted into a fabric postcard.

This Rolling Star quilt block is just made as a 4 inch block, two 1 inch strips are added to the sides to make it postcard shape, a backing is added and the postcard is finished. Add a greeting, and the card is ready to be sent to your friend – or possibly a soldier in the Middle East.

Fabric postcards can, in fact, be sent through the mail. If there are beads or other embellishments on the card, you may want to put the fabric postcard in an envelope so it will arrive safely. If your card is just “plain,” add a stamp (a little extra postage to cover the fact that it can’t be run through a postage machine), an address, and drop it in the mail.

Penny’s Postcard Posse continues to Roundup fabric postcards to send to the soldiers in the Middle East. You can use the Rolling Star fabric postcard, or visit www.QuiltBlockLibrary.com to get other fabric postcard patterns for free.
