Bee In My Bonnet: Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Six - Vintage Pennsylvania Dutch Block!!

"VINTAGE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH BLOCK"

Welcome to week six 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 ...

Today we are making the

Pennsylvania Dutch Block!!

Here is my Vintage Pennsylvania Dutch 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-10

4 - P-28

1 - P-63

4 - P-65

You will also need two 5" pieces

of prepared 1/4" straight bias for stems

Cut your background

12" x 12"

and press in half both ways

to help with placement during layout:)

After sewing and trimming up the

seam allowances you will need to

clip each cleavage area

in the tulips and leaves.

There are no inner curves:)

Shaped...pressed and ready for layout:)

I started by placing the aqua leaves

and lining them up with the

points on the pressed centered creases.

Then I placed the stems centered in-between.

The leaves are about 1" apart.

Then I placed the center circle.

I used my 10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler

in-between each of these steps to make

sure everything was lined up and centered.

And I continued to use the ruler
to line things up as I placed
the green double leaves
and then the flowers.

Mine measured about 10 1/2"
diagonally from the tops of the flowers.

And from the edges of the
green leaves measures 9 1/2" wide.
