28 days of Blocks

Block 25 - English Rose (Patchsmith applique design)
I have been having fun with my Block-a-Day and I've introduced the first applique block into the collection - shown above. 
Block 23 - Basket 1 (Carol Doak)
Block 24 - Night and Day Log Cabin (Patchsmith)
Block 26 - Framed Tree (Carol Doak)
Block 28 - Pencils (although Carol Doak calls them 'crayons')
And I have created my first mistake block as I miscalculated the reduction of a Tumbling Blocks square.  I'm sure there will be more mistakes throughout the year and who knows, I may even invent a new block by accident!
Block 27 - Oh No! (this mistake design is all mine)
My organised mind is thinking of ways to bring some sort of order to this year-long project so all blocks for the month of February with be based around the theme of LOVE.  Expect lots of lovely hearts.

Be sure to check back next month as I hope to include a tutorial on making a scrappy patchwork block ..... or two!  In the meantime you can find all the blocks made on my Block-a-Day Pinterest board or over at the Flickr group.

  1. I love your blocks! They are so adorable! Make yourself a quilt!! And I think your Oh No block reminds me of a confused zig zag!

    1. Everybody loves hearts and as you know, I am partial to a gingham heart.
