Block of the Month

for

NOVEMBER DECEMBER JANUARY

My postman has been kept busy delivering packages!

Thank you to everyone who has already made blocks and sent them to me.

They are fantastic! And there is such variety in them, I thought I’d show you some examples…

Printed fabrics Machine applique Printed fabrics

Plain fabrics, tone-on-tone prints, iconic prints and Aboriginal prints

Patterned fabrics, Aboriginal prints, iconic prints

Printed fabrics Printed Aboriginal fabrics Applique in centre

These are my original sample blocks using tone-on-tone fabrics, printed iconic fabric and a machine appliquéd “label”

Christmas celebrations are over…New Year celebrations are over…if you need a little sewing project to get
back into the swing of things, these blocks could be fun to make.

The theme for these blocks is
AUSTRALIANA

You can find the tutorial for the blocks here

Both are traditional blocks and will be familiar to many quilters.
So find all those green and gold fabrics, Aussie theme fabrics and head over to the tutorial on the left hand side
of the homepage of the Blog for instructions to make some beautiful blocks for our Aussie Heroes’ quilts.
