Around the Block for Amy
Amy requested Around the Block blocks that would combine to become a “teeny, weeny, quirky village”. The central design was to take up no more than 5 inches in the centre of a 7 inch block. I am not used to working with such small blocks, and improvised piecing isn’t my forte, but I did the best I was able with the gorgeous fabrics Amy provided.
We had the option to use raw edge applique or to make pieced blocks, so I did one of each. I like this block best, I think – the high rise apartments!
A seahorse in a beach bungalow – this was one of the suggestions that Amy had originally made.
One of the hardest parts was deciding on which fabrics to use – there were so many that I loved!
Now they’re safely in an envelope on their way home. Check out the flickr group to see what else the other bee participants have come up with!
What adorable blocks! The sweet little Japanese prints are perfect for this project.
Love these…..They are going to look awesome all together.
Oh these are lovely, such gorgeous fabrics.
