"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
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

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.
