This set of my
CIRCLE RULERS

And we are also using my
SEED RULERS

Last week before today's
big finish I did a tutorial
on how to make this
cute little label for your quilt.
for that tutorial
I also showed you how I
prepare and trim up my blocks
after appliqué so that they
are ready to sew into the quilt!!
I love how all of these Flea Market fabrics...
the Flea Market Roses wideback
and the Coral large Vintage Trim
all go together to finish up the quilt!
if you want to know how I
bind my quilts and sew the
Vintage Trim inside if the binding.
I took a lot of pictures of my
finished quilt so that you could see
it up close and personal...
and especially see how it looks
machine quilted and also machine appliqued.
The wind was blowing and it
blew the corner of the quilt back
just so that you could see the label!
I could not have
planned that even if I tried:)
My friend Juli Stubbs quilted it
and as always she did an amazing job.
I asked her to quilt an overall pattern
on this one instead of custom quilting it
and I absolutely love
the way that it turned out.
The quilting pattern that she used is one of my very favorite and I use it quite often.
It's called Baptist Swirl.
Afterwards I came inside
and hung it up in my sewing room
for the closeup shots.
a pure joy to make.
I had so much fun with it
and I hope that you did as well!
Next up...I wanted to
let you know some exciting news!!
I have started a new series called
Sew Simple Shapes
"REMiX"
Each month I am designing
a new applique block
using my Sew Simple Shapes.
The block will be released
within the Riley Blake Designs Newsletter
that comes to your email
on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
if you are not yet subscribed
to the newsletter.
On the third Friday of each month
I will do a video tutorial
of that months block on my
YouTube Channel.
to watch the tutorial
that I did for this months ReMix Block:)
In the video I also show you
the next sew along
that I will be hosting
here on my blog in August.
The quilt is called
"My Happy Place"
and we will be using
my next fabric collection
that will be here in July.
The collection is called
STITCH
