A pin-tucked block! I cheated and used my pin tuck foot; which by the way, makes the job MUCH easier. The tucks are 1/2″ spaced and they give the linen a really nice look. And I love Echino! I can’t wait to see the finished project, with the varied direction of the pin tucks! Enjoy!
From scraps come great things! What fun this block is to make. This will be great Nichole!
And it looks so cute with daughter #3′s new sewing machine!
In the mail to you by Friday.
These are for you~Sorrel, this is such a gift from the heart~I was barely able to get through making these blocks without crying. I added in 2 fabrics from my stash and was able to complete 2 blocks. I’m including some strips with the blocks (as well as your leftover strips) in case you’d like to incorporate them in additional blocks. Hugs~

Hi Everyone~
May is my month for blocks~I’ll be mailing packages out Tuesday. Here’s a peek at what I’m asking for:
Basically, it’s the perfect way for me to de-stash my scraps and use my favorite Kona Solid~slate. Directions for construction will be included. The small squares will measure 1″ finished~I hope you’re all comfortable with this size. Because of all the piecing involved, I’m asking for just one block. Thank you all so much in advance. Have a good weekend~I’m judging 4H Fashion Revue tomorrow and planting our garden on Sunday~finally a sunny California day!
Here are my circles for Angie. . .what a great charity. The quilt will be loved.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Here’s my block for Adrienne. I went searching through her gallery and found a Denyse Schmidt improv quilt she herself had done with like colors; and I really liked it. So I went with a similar design. In her note she had indicated she was especially fond of the flower print~so I chose to center the design around the pretty blooms.
Your mini quilt blocks are awesome. I’m glad to see some posts, I was agonizing over which design I should use (OCD rears it’s ugly head, again) hoping not to duplicate~now I can get started. Nice blocks ladies, they’re so very pretty!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day~
And another. . .this was a fun block to make after I got over my OCD behaviors about color. There’s enough fabric remaining to begin another block, so I’ll do that and mail them. I love all the bits of color!
Hi~I received my package today. . .thank you. . .I’m anxious to get started! Maybe I’m over-thinking this one. . .do you want half of us to start with a light gray square and the other half to start with dark gray. . .the blocks in Denyse’s version alternate as do many of the other’s I’ve seen. Do you have a preference? Am I being to picky?
