Pumpkin Quilt Block

This is an original design and relatively easy to sew together. You just need to keep track of where each of the dark patches go.

But, there are no curves or applique pieces. It is all traditional patchwork.

Bells Quilt Block

The Bells quilt block makes a wonderful Holiday block – whether you make this into a wall hanging or a full size quilt.

Also consider making table runners or placemats using this block.

The curves are gentle and easy to accomplish. The clappers in each bell are hand applique – or machine, whichever you prefer.

This is a two-part video – one part showing how to applique the clapper, the second part showing how to sew the block together.

Peaceful Piecing!

New Jersey Quilt Block

Celebrate “Be Nice to New Jersey Week” with this quilt block created in the official state colors of New Jersey.

To save time this block has been sewn together using a strip sewing technique instead of cutting individual strips for each patch in the block.

Washington's Puzzle Quilt Block

It’s George Washington’s Birthday this week, and time to celebrate with the Washington’s Puzzle Quilt Block.

This block is really easy to sew together, although it looks kind of complicated.

Surprisingly, all of the seams are either straight grain or cross grain. However, all of the side seams in the block are bias – so beware when you sew this to other blocks. You may want to stitch all the way around the block to secure the edges so they don’t stretch.

Peaceful Piecing!
