Tiled Blooms Quilt Block

 For the latest Bees Knees Quilting Bee block

I made

Tiled Blooms

for Sinta Borland (Pink Pincushion)

 Sinta made this so easy for us.

She mailed most of the sections Pre-cut.

All we had to do was 

cut the petals,

iron on fusible

sew applique

and then

assemble the block.

 This is what Tiled Blooms will look like once it's all put together.

Scrappy Crossroads Quilt

 It's beautiful here in the winter in Arizona  :)

Even with a little cloud cover outside today

it's still warm and inviting.

I just finished

Scrappy Crossroads

 Pattern with Free Tutorial

by my friend Lori Holt

of Bee In My Bonnet

 A great way to use up scraps!

I knew I saved those little itty bits of leftovers for a reason.

 A total of 

1440

2 1/2 inch scrappy squares 

were used in this project

 For the X part of the block

I used

American Made Brand Cotton

Dark Turquoise

It's the first time I have used this solid

and it was wonderful to work with  !

High thread count and solid to the touch.

 Hey, I remember some of these fabrics

from quilts I made long ago  :)

 And these too!

A trip down memory lane.

 The actual block 

measures 16 1/2 inches unfinished

 You can make the quilt any size you desire.

I opted to make it Twin Size

by putting 

5 rows across

and 

6 rows down.

 I even used some of Lori's fabrics in the scraps

Remember her first fabric line Sew Cherry?

And Millie's Closet ?

Thank you Lori for such a great Tutorial  !!

I feel like I now have a Free Quilt

I'm even considering being brave and

trying to quilt this one myself.

We'll see.
