Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Seven - Vintage Daisy Chain Block!!



"VINTAGE DAISY CHAIN BLOCK"


Welcome back to week seven 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

As per usual for the first block in my 
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs

Last time we made the

for that tutorial:)

Today we are making a daisy chain!!


Here is my Vintage Daisy Chain Block 
 All cut...traced and ready to go!

Here is a list of the
  Bee Vintage 
Sew Simple Shapes 
needed for this block:
4 - P-9 
12 - P-30
1 - P-58
1 - P-59
  4 - P-64  

Cut your background  
12" x 12"
and it will be very helpful to 
press it both ways side to side
and both ways diagonally.



After sewing and trimming up the
 seam allowances you will need to 
clip each cleavage area in the flowers. 
 


Pressed and ready to chain some daisies!




I used my 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
to place the two circles first 
and make sure that they were both 
centered correctly with-in the aqua window 
(aka the finished size of the block)

 I continued to use the ruler
to line things up as I placed 
the flowers and center of flowers next
 and then all of the leaves.
It was also 
VERY HELPFUL 
when placing them to use the 
pressed lines in my background 
as a guide. 


This measures about 9 3/4" 
wide both ways:)


Pinned and glued...


And now ready for applique:)




After you have appliquéd...
 press your block from the back 
and trim down to 
10 1/2" square to sew into the quilt.


VINTAGE DAISY CHAIN BLOCK

two blocks for our quilt...

Bee Vintage Sew Along

BIG FINISH!
