BLOOM Sew Along - Week Nine - Block Nine!!

Well hello cute people!!

We are starting the third row of the 

BLOOM

quilt today:)

I'm really having fun with these templates...

if you want to sew along with us!

This are the prints from 

Calico Days 

that I've chosen for my 

appliqué shapes this week.

Here is my block nine.

I know I keep saying this...

 but every block is my favorite!

Todays Sew Simple Shapes are

 A-1   A-2   A-19   A-21 

  

This weeks cutting goes as follows...

From fabric and Pellon BOTH:

Cut 1 - 2" square for small circle

Cut 1 - 3" square for large circle

Cut 4 - 2 1/2" squares for hearts

Cut 4 - 3" squares for blades

From fabric only you need two pieces of 7" long

 prepared stem strips and one 9" background square.

1. Trace around the shapes onto your Pellon.

2. Sew on the lines and trim seam allowance.

Clip a little off the corners of the blades and the heart points. 

3. Clip the cleavage on each heart right to your stitching lines but into them.

4. Cut an "X" in the Pellon only, for turning.

Turn...shape and press your appliqués:)

Press your background in half 

both ways like this.

Pin or glue baste your stems across the center.

Measure 1 1/4" from the edge of your fabric when placing your blades.

Center the large circle...

and the small circle goes in the center of that:)

Measure 2 1/4" from the background corner 

and the cleavage in each heart.

After basting...it's time to appliqué!

Add your border strips and squares

 and then take a photo:)
