You know I love to sew with friends so when Jacquelynne from The Art of Home asked me to join the fun in the I love home quilt block of the month, I was all in! Each month I will share a few pictures of my block for the month and host a giveaway. I hope that you will join the fun and sign up for the free pattern to stitch along with us.
The I love home quilt is so whimsical and really lends itself to my personal style. Each block is designed to be hand appliqued but I just had to infuse my style and layer on the free motion quilting.
Supplies:
- I love home pattern
- Assorted fabrics
- Double sided fusible
- Sewing machine
- Open toe free motion foot
- Iron
- Basic Sewing Supplies
*Fabrics used in block include Patrick Loose Christmas Cheer and a few batiks.
To make the thread lines pop, I reached for a spool of Aurifil thread. I just love the way the Medium Delft Blue jumps off the colorful prints.
Each design element gave me an opportunity to outline the applique with my version of character. I even used a decorative stitch on my machine to accentuate the corner of the house.
It’s really coming together so cute!
I Love Home Quilt Block 1
Since I’m tossing around an alternate project, I’ll be holding off on completing the outer layer of each block. This will allow me to focus on the design aspect while having fun. So, what do you say, are you ready to sew along? The I love home quilt pattern is free and you can get the instructions here.
Plus, each month you can enter to win fun prizes to help keep you stitching along. The August giveaway is a fab thread box from my friends at Aurifil.
