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

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

Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs

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.
