The June Row in this year's free block of the month is ready. It was a little late getting posted since I was camping for 2 weeks and just got home! Phew, it was fun and the weather was mostly great.
Ok, here is the new Seminole Sampler Row for June: The Greek Key.
Some sources refer to this as a snail's trail block. It is a bit different from a traditional snail's trail, but it is easy and fun to make. Note that the last block in the row is reversed, just for fun.
If you subscribe to my newsletter (see subscription box in left margin) you will also get the free bonus block.
I love doing these bonus blocks. If you are doing the layout I designed for these rows you will need a few of these bonus blocks to fill in the side of the quilt.
Tap on the 2016 BOM Tab at the top of the page to see the whole quilt and to download your free pattern.
I also have some new Deco Garden Bonus Blocks for sale this month. If you subscribed to my newsletter you got last months block free! Why? I was just in a generous mood! LOL
Here are the two new ones: This is Blue Bells. I like to show the blocks on both black and white backgrounds. I prefer the black, it looks more dramatic to me, but the white ones are really sweet and would make a great quilt too.
Each month I design a 24" pillow or wall hanging with 4 blocks. I love the effect created by the rotated blocks. The magnolia block just really came out amazing. Don't you agree? I loved how the green and blue leaves make a cool secondary pattern which looks so typical of the nouveau style.
The patterns for these blocks are available HERE. The wall hanging is just 4 identical blocks with a simple border!
Thanks and Happy June!

This is the new Magnolia block.
Here is another version of it with red petals and blue leaves. Just thought it looked fun.

I have been eagerly collecting your Deco Garden designs ever since you started. I just LOVED the quilt layout but I knew that I would want a bigger quilt than your original design produced.
ReplyDeleteSo, I've waited. And by golly!! You've come up with even MORE astounding designs and a *fantastic* layout using lots and lots and LOTS of blocks! I'm delighted!
At this point, I'm actually ready to buy myself a bolt of black fabric .. I'm thinking mottled black? or a batik black? Something subtle, tone on tone sort of thing.
These blocks are going to be the PERFECT portable, on-the-road project for me to work on as we travel this summer. I *hate* just sitting in the car, being a passenger. Much better to have busy hands and accomplish something by the end of the day's drive.
Thank you *so* much for creating these wonderful blocks. I'm not certain when my own project will be done, but I'm going to have LOTS of fun sewing them!
Your projects are fantastic. I love the bright colors you are using. Haven't started the new one yet, as I haven't finished the old one yet. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the deco flower blocks and I think each new is prettier than the last. It is beautiful on the black!
