"VINTAGE COTTAGE 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
that FIRST tutorial is a video.
Because I now have my own

Vintage Strawberry Block

Today we are building a cottage!!
Here is my Vintage Cottage 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-52
1 - P-53
1 - P-54
1 - P-55
4 - P-56
3 - P-57
Cut your background
12" x 12"
and press in half so that
you can center the cottage:)
After sewing and trimming up the
seam allowances you will need
to clip each cleavage area in
the roof and the three shrubs:)
Shaped and ready for construction:)
I placed my house and roof first
using the center line on the ruler
and my center line on the
background to line up with each other.
Then I tucked the two chimneys
underneath the roof and everything
else goes on the cottage front.
Use this photo and the lines on your
10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
to help you when building your cottage!
From the top of the chimneys to the
bottom of the shrubs it
measures about 9 1/4" tall.
The shrubs are 9 1/2" wide
from outside to outside.
Also...the shutters overlap
the window on each side.
Pinned and glued...
All ready for applique!!
Yes...I'm repeating myself again
but I want to say this in
each block tutorial just in case
someone is making just a single block:)
After you have appliquéd...
press your block from the back
and trim it down to
10 1/2" square to sew into the quilt.
P.S. After your quilt is quilted
it would be cute to go thru
your button jars and sew a
1/4" Cute Little Button
onto the door for a door knob!!
