Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Four - Vintage Spring Basket Block!!

"VINTAGE SPRING BASKET BLOCK"

Welcome to week four 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

Today we are making a spring basket!!

Here is my Vintage Spring Basket 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-3

1 - P-4

3 - P-12

3 - P-31

3 - P-63

***TAKE NOTE***

That you will need to 

trace ONE of the P-31 shapes in reverse

and also trace the P-3 shape in reverse:)

Cut your background  

12" x 12"

and press it in half so that

 you can center your flower basket:)

After sewing and trimming your shapes 

you will need to clip inner curves

 and or cleavage areas in all

 of them except the 3 circles:)

Turned and shaped and ready for layout!

Before layout I went ahead and 

glued the center circles 

onto each of the flowers. 

I used my 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" ruler 

to make sure they were in the center.

I centered the basket and the handle

 first using the lines on the ruler 

and of course my pressed center line

 on my background.

I then added the flowers...

centering the aqua one 

(centered from side to side)

Then I added the leaves 

by tucking them under.

The 3 flowers together are 8" wide.

The basket and handle together

are almost 9 1/2" tall.

Pretty Pinned and Sue Glued...

And ready for applique.

After your applique is completed 

go ahead and press your block from the back

 and then trim down to 10 1/2" x 10 1/2"

before you sew it into your sampler quilt.
