The Quilty Barn along...Silo Barn 4 and Egg Basket Block Tutorial!!!...

I hope all of you are caught up after

 our short break because it's time to plow ahead with the farmin!:)

YaY!

6" Egg Basket Block

I designed a basket block for this barn...

it's really no surprise that I love basket blocks.

I always have to make a basket quilt with 

pretty much every one of my collections!

And besides...

every working farm uses them:)

Wouldn't you love to gather eggs in this cute little basket?

Okay...onto the cutting!

Background too!

Sew ...

Trim...

Press towards the triangles.

Sew Easy Corner Triangles onto the 3 trim pieces like this...

For the one in the center...

 sew... trim and press

 before you can add another ECT onto the other side...

YaY!

Egg basket complete.

It should measure 6 1/2" at this point.

Now build a barn around your block!

I chose to build a gray barn around my egg basket...

for that vintagey weathered look:)

It's just the right shade to compliment the

rosy pink and butter yellow egg basket:)

Wasn't that easy???

Did you know that I have pink and yellow sheep on my farm?

Today they are hanging out in the loft...

I wonder how they got all the way up there?...

and how will they get down?...haha

Silo Barn #4 complete...

and onto the design wall to join it's neighbors:)

Next Wednesday will be the original red barn for the first quilt

and a block I named 

"Summer Star"

along with a fun and easy method for making

quarter square triangles!

I hope you like my 

Egg Basket block...

let me know what you think!

Have a quilty kind of day my friends...

it's good to be back sewing with you!
