Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Five!!

Hi there beautiful people and happy Monday!

Welcome to week five in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

As usual I have three more blocks for you!

This week I worked 

from two of my books...

For the 12" Block I made my 

Evening Star Block on page 45 

of my book Farm Girl Vintage 2.

I used my Farm Girl Vintage

 gingham, honeycomb and also my 

chicken tracks for the background. 

I used my Calico Days Baby Chicks 

print for the center square 

and the corner triangles:)

12" Evening Star Block

I made my 6" Peas and Carrots Block 

from page 53

from my first Farm Girl Vintage Book.

This is another favorite 

and easy to make block...

you simply need two red prints

 that have good contrast from each other:)

I used my Flea Market Star Flower 

and my Prim Circles prints 

as well as my 

Bee Backgrounds "Clover" print.

6" Peas and Carrots Block

Last Friday I filmed episode #18

 in my Sew Your Stash Series

and because my block finishes at 6"...

I decided that it would be fun to

 make a block all in reds and to add it 

to my Red Sampler Quilt.

After all...

I need to make 30 blocks in the 

6" size and so I think that

 this one fits perfectly:)

It's called Granny Star 

and if you want to 

add it to your quilt

to watch my tutorial

and also to see a sneak peek

 of several more of my Red Sampler Blocks:)

This version uses a print for the 

center square instead of the background.

I used my Chicken Tracks 

background and 3 reds:

Flea Market Basket Weave

Bee Cross Stitch

Farm Girl Vintage Calico

6" Churn Dash Block

I hope that you will have fun

 sewing your blocks this week...

as for me...I'm having a blast:)

I'm really having a good time 

choosing fabric and sewing 

these blocks for my Red Sampler...

I just want to make more blocks every day!

Thanks for sewing with me this week!

This photo was taken of me 

sitting at my vintage teachers desk 

during the photo shoot 

for my book Spelling Bee.

Here are a few more photos from the shoot:

This setting is for 12" Blocks 

and would be another great choice 

for my Red Sampler Blocks:)

Well that's it for today folks!

I've shown you all of my blocks again...

now it's time for you to show me yours!
