Hello cute people!
Thanks for tuning in for
episode 5 of the
Sew Simple Shapes Series
Please click on these links
to the previous episodes
if you are just starting
this series now:)
We are still playing with the
and we will be making the last
of the four fruit blocks today:)
Trace and sew the
following shapes from the set:
1 - C-1
4 - C-6
4 - C-8
4 - C-9
4 - C10
Cut 4 - 2" long 1/4" wide
green strawberry stems
Sew your pinwheel background block
These are the three shapes
from this block
that have inner curves and
cleavages to clip.
All of my strawberry block parts!
I placed my flower petals
in the center first...
I forgot to take a picture
before I placed the
red center circle on
but you can see that all of
the petals touch...
so thats easy peasy:)
I measured 2 1/2" in
from the corner and
placed my stem.
Then I measured 3 3/4" in
and placed my strawberry.
The strawberry top goes
about 1/4" above it.
The yellow gingham hearts
are 1 3/4" in from the edge:)
I pinned and then glue basted...
and when dry I removed the pins:)
Super sweet and super easy block to make:)
Both background prints are from my
Bee Backgrounds Collection.
The applique prints are all from
Bee Basics.
BLOCK ELEVEN
Fun and Done!!
Okay let's make some
granny smith apples now:)
Trace and sew the following from the
Fruit Salad Sew Simple Shapes:
8 - C-1
4 - C-2
1 - C-3
8 - C-4
4 - C-8
4 - C11
Cut 4 - 2" long 1/4"
wide brown stems
Sew your pinwheel background block
These are the two shapes that
have an inner curve and a cleavage.
Ready...set...go!
I placed the circles 1" in from the
center of the block and
pinned them for glue basting.
Top it with the flower center after:)
Measure down 2 1/2" from
the corner and place your stems.
Measure 1 3/4" in from the side
for the red gingham circles:)
Measure 4" down from the
corner and place your apple.
The leaves go right on the
stem center and the tip measures
1 1/2" from the outer edge.
Place the hearts in the center
of the apple...cute right?
Make sure to use your
12 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
every step of the way.
No block is perfect...and that's okay!
But it's always good to use
the tools that help us:)
I really love the
denim flower in the center:)
It's from my Calico Day's collection.
The hearts are from
Cozy Christmas and the gingham
is from Bake Sale 2!
Both background are from my
Bee Backgrounds and the
yellow pears print is from
Bee Basics.
I used the green bandana print
from my Bee Backings and Borders
for the apples:)
All ready for applique!!
BLOCK TWELVE
Next week I will have
two more blocks for you
from the
Fruit Salad
Sew Simple Shapes:)
Until then...
Have a Quilty Kind of Day!
