"VINTAGE APPLE BLOCK"
Welcome to week one of the
"BEE VINTAGE"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week
when I will be doing 3 tutorials
on three blocks for the quilt.
Of course because we are all sewing
from all around the world
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each
Monday - Wednesday - Friday
right here on my blog
and you can follow my tutorials
any time during the week that
is convenient for you.
We are making the
Bee Vintage Sampler Quilt
71" x 84"
I've been getting ready for
when it was time to begin...
and now that time is here!!
The quilt is made with my fabric
collection called Bee Vintage...
and a few other prints from my basics collections as well!
I hope that you all have all
received your
fabric kits by now...
and that we are all ready to begin!!
If you still need one ...
just do a quick google search for
"Bee Vintage Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.
We are also using the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes
I have already posted the
post which details all of the supplies
for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there
for the free PDF Download
of the Sew Along Guide
to download the sew along guide
if you have not downloaded yet.
As per usual for the first block in my
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs
that FIRST tutorial is a video.
Because I now have my own
I have posted the
Vintage Strawberry Block
Tutorial there.
to visit my channel and watch the
tutorial and I hope that you love it!
Today we are making the apple:)
Here is my Vintage Apple Block
All cut...traced and ready to go!
Here is a list of the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes
needed for this block:
1 - P-29
1 - P-32
1 - P-51
All of the background fabric
is the same for each block in this quilt.
Cut your background
12" x 12"
and press it in half for centering
the apple when pinning and glue basting:)
After sewing and trimming your shapes...
you will need to clip the inner curves
on the stem and both top and bottom
of the apple before turning.
Your leaf does not need to be clipped:)
Pressed and shaped and ready to layout...
easy peasy!
I chose a green print from my
Bee Vintage fabric collection so that
we could make a Granny Smith Apple
for our sampler quilt:)
***NOTE***
For each block tutorial
in this quilt I'm going to
show you how my block looks
when it is lined up with all of the
lines on the 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler.
This is truly the best way to show you
where to place your shapes onto
your background fabric before
you pin and then glue.
This 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler photo
of each block layout will be
sew very helpful!!!
And I will also give you the
measurements of the height...
so in this case the apple measures
9 1/4" tall from the top of the stem
to the bottom of the apple.
Of course the width is just as wide
as the apple Sew Simple Shape:)
Pin and Sue Glue!!
Remove pins after a few minutes
and when the glue is dry you are ready
to applique using your method of choice.
After your applique is completed...
just like I showed you with the
Vintage Strawberry Block
you will need to press it from the back
and trim it down to measure
10 1/2" x 10 1/2" square
before sewing it into your quilt.
VINTAGE APPLE BLOCK
Vintage Apple Quilt
The apple block is another one
of my Bee Vintage Sew Simple Shape Blocks
that I have colored into
a quilt using several prints from my
"BASICS"fabric collections for you.
to download or view the
high res printable photo
for exact fabric placement
when making this quilt if you so desire:)
Thanks so much for sewing your
Vintage Apple Block
with me today!
I'll meet you right back here
on my blog next time for the
Vintage Cherries Block tutorial...
