This week we will be 

making 2 blocks using the

 Let's Bake

 Sew Simple Shapes

For Block 16 you will need to 

trace and sew the following shapes:

4 - E-10

5 - E-11

4 - E-12

4 - E-16

Cut 4 - 3" long and 4 - 4 1/2" long 

1/4" wide stems from your spool.

Make your pinwheel background square.

The 4 - E-10 circles are for the leaves.

Mark the center after tracing the circle using the lines on the template.

Then use a ruler and draw 1/4" from center on both sides...or in other words...two lines 1/2" apart.

Sew on the lines like this.

Trim...

Turn and shape:)

On the E-16 shape you will need to

 clip the 2 cleavage areas.

Pinning and glue basting is the next step:)

Place the center circle first.

Measure 3" in from the corner and place 

the blue flowers...

measure in 2 3/4" in and 

place the red centers.

The yellow tulips are placed

 1 1/2" in from the side edge.

Always use the ruler to line everything up:)

Ready for applique!

I love these tulips:)

And the half circle leaves

 and red gingham center.

BLOCK SIXTEEN

Let's do block seventeen now:)

Trace and sew these shapes:

5 - E-10

1 - E-11

8 - E-12

4 - E-13

8 - E-17

Cut 8 - 3 1/4" long and

 1/4" wide stems from your spool.

Make your pinwheel background square.

The E-13 shape has inner curves 

that will need to be clipped.

3 clips in each inner curve will do nicely:)

Place the 2 center circles first. 

Measure in 3" from the corner and place the yellow gingham circles.

The flowers go in the center of each:)

The small aqua circles are placed

 1 3/4" from the side edge.

Pin and glue baste the leaves 3/4" up from the bottom of the stems.

Ready for applique!

I love the cute little blue berries

 and the oval shaped leaves.

And I love that the flower fit

 on top of the circle perfectly!

(because those shapes were a 

frosted donut in the 

Let's Bake Quilt ...lol)

BLOCK SEVENTEEN

Next week we will have the last 3 blocks for a total of 20!

Those 3 are the ones made from 

Autumn Love 

Sew Simple Shapes

 that I showed you in the beginning of this series:)

After that I'll draw up a setting

 and get may blocks

 sewn together and quilted.

Of course I will show you 

and give you measurements for the

 sashings and border as soon as 

I know what they will be.

My goal is to have it all completed 

before we start the 

Autumn Love Sew Along 

on August 20th....

YAY!
