Bathrobe blocks--17, 18, 19--Fun With Bricks, Geese On A String, Guilford County block

A visit to the Vera Bradley store to buy cloth napkins got me in the mood to use some of the older Vera prints that I have.

All todays blocks are Vera Bradley prints plus the green batik.

Fun With Bricks

The prints are too busy for the pattern but whatever. 

Geese on a String

Guilford County (block)

All these blocks plus many more are on the Quiltville web site.

My box of completed blocks grows fuller each day.

Bathrobe blocks 14, 15, 16--Floribunda, Four Patch and Furrows, Fourth of July

Today I had errands to run so just did a few blocks.

Remember that all these free block patterns are on the Quiltville web site under a tab called

Free Patterns

Floribunda

Four Patch and Furrows

Fourth of July!

This block was fun. What is more american than baseball ? (Go Red Sox!!)

And there are always ants at the July picnics!!

It is so much fun to do different blocks every day.

 Picking fabrics is so great because they don't have to match anything. 

I just use whatever I want to. These will all come together in an awesome bathrobe!

Blocks 8 to 13--Chunky Churndash, Crayon Box, Crumbs Crumbs Crumbs, Crumb Hearts,Dancing 9 Patch, Diamond Strings

I had a wonderful day sewing today! 

These are all blocks from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville web blog. 

I'm going through the blocks alphabetically making at least one of each.

Chunky Churndash!

Crayon Box

Crumbs, Crumbs, Crumbs!

Crumb Hearts!

Note the "party" sashing in this block. Today is my brother's birthday.

So I used party fabric for him. Happy birthday, Doug!

Diamond Strings

The string piece I made was long enough for 2 full blocks and 2 extra pieces.

Yay my box is getting full. More blocks tomorrow.....

                                                                         Boxy Stars

It rained and hailed and snowed today. So I sewed.

My Bathrobe Box is getting fuller...

Bathrobe Block 3--Bonnie's Basket

So it's raining here and nothing to do but sew, sew, sew. Bonnie's Basket block was fairly easy to piece.

Scrap Crystals plus first 3 blocks on the design wall.

My Bathrobe box is getting filled.  It's still raining so.....time to sew.

Bathrobe Block 2--Basket-Weave-Strings

For my Basket-weave-Strings blocks I used my Sudoku calendar pages that I was done with for the foundations. My blocks are 5" finished. I made 4 blocks to get the gist of the weave.

The fabrics used for the string blocks all came out of my scrap bin.

I've added this block to my Bathrobe Box.

Next up is Bonnie's Basket.

Bathrobe Challenge: Block 1-- 2" cornerstone

The first block in the list of Bonnie's free patterns is the 2" Cornerstone. It was easy to make and I can make more to help in the setting of all the odd size blocks to come.

This goes into the Bathrobe Box added to the scrap crystals block.

This box will be full before I assemble and quilt the bathrobe. 

Stay tuned for block 2...
