Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Three - Vintage Tea Pot Block!!




"VINTAGE TEA POT BLOCK"



Welcome to week three 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"


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

Last time we made the

Today we are making a teapot!




Here is my Vintage Tea Pot 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-5
1 - P-6
1 - P-8
2 - P-27
1 - P-43
1 - P-45
1 - P-46
1 - P-47




***TAKE NOTE***
That you will need to 
trace ONE of the P-27 shapes in reverse:)

You will need 3" of prepared 
1/4" straight bias strip for the stem.
Press the bottom end under.

Cut your background  
12" x 12"


After sewing and trimming you will 
need to clip the cleavage areas 
and/or inner curves in each shape except for the one that is on my cutting mat:)


What the back of my shapes 
look like after pressing:)


Ready for layout!


Sue Glue the background heart onto
 the center of the larger heart first.


Then cut it in half like this.
You will use the right half
 for the teapot handle:)


Here's your helpful layout photo
 of my block underneath the 
10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler.



The teapot measures 
just under 9 1/2" tall...


And just under 9 1/2" wide as well.


The stem is 1 1/2" long after 
tucking the top underneath the tulip.


Sue Glued and Pretty Pinned:)


Ready for applique.


Again...
you know the drill by now for sure!
After applique press from the back
 and trim down to 10 1/2" square.
