Nearly Spring

Originally published 3/12/2020, via email

It is March and some of us are so ready to be done with winter. New fabric is coming into your local quilt shop and we all want to sew!

A seasonal project from Susie shows off BQ Goes Mini. She added such cute machine embroidery plus borders. This will be a fun door hanger for her Mom.

I had some stripe fun with Stripeplicity. I used the instructions for 12 blocks with 3 different stripes but all the same background. These examples are positioned on my design wall, not stitched. I really got lost in this project as there were so many possibilities. Sizes given are just the blocks, borders would make them larger.

12 blocks 22.5" x 30"

20 blocks 30" x 37.5"

24 blocks 30" x 45"

35 blocks not in pattern. Adjust borders to fit.
