Half the month of May has come and gone. I have so many excuses as to why this didn't go out on time, but I think the biggest excuse is that I am a procrastinator. I had all the stuff ready to cut out and the instructions ready to send by the middle of April, but did I get it all together in time to send it out the beginning of May? NooooOOOooOoooOo! Better late than never, though. Here it is, hope you enjoy! I was thinking it'd be fun to have something for Thanksgiving to display in the living room. I originally wanted the green squares to be an eggshell blue - you know, edgier or something. But I couldn't find the right blue and the one I did buy just didn't sit right. So I found a remnant of something I had used for a Christmas quilt and it was enough to cut out for all y'all. So I'm sending you the green and the ivory pieces. If you could add your own dark brown, pumpkin color and light pumpkin color, that would be so great! If you're confused about what color pumpkin is, err on the side of rust. I got these instructions from The Happy Zombie. I changed the colors on her instructions so it'd be easier for you guys to figure out what was what. I'll be sending you a paper file of this as well. Happy quilting!

Block 11 - Buttons and Spools This week’s block from the Patchsmith’s Sampler pattern book is the Block 11 – “Buttons and Spools”. It looks a little unbalanced when made due to the seam allowances but don't worry - once it is stitched into a project or quilt it will look perfect. I would rate this block as 'difficult' and suitable for experienced patchers as you are dealing with small pieces of fabric. However, if you are new to patchwork I have two larger blocks to share with you - either of which can be used in place of the trickier Block 11. If ‘Spools’ are your thing then you can substitute a Large Spool Block for Block 11. Large Spools are easier and you can have fun with the thread section To make a Large Spool block you will need to cut the pattern pieces as follows: A – Two 6½” x 2” rectangles (spool fabric) B – One 3½” square (thread fabric) C – Two 2 x 3½” background rectangles D – Four 2” background squares. You can add an extra touch by constructing the thread square (piece B) from three 3½” x 1½” strips of fabric as I did for the large yellow spool. Create a fun three-thread middle for the Large Spool Block Or you could go one step further and stitch six 3½” x 1” strips together to create a more detailed thread square (piece B). It really is quite simple to add interest to the Large Spool block. Whichever thread option you choose, just follow the ‘Spool Block’ instructions for Block 11 and you should end up with a Large Spool block measuring 6½” square. When it comes to the ‘Buttons’ for Block 11 you will find that the construction is made a tad easier using my stitch-and-slice method for making the buttonholes. Even so, the small buttonholes finish at just ¼” each. Those small buttonholes measure just ¼” each! So if you are new to patchwork or your ¼” seams are not quite there yet I would recommend making a Large Button Block instead. The Large Button Block measures 6½" when completed To make the Large Button Block you will need to cut your pieces as follows: E – Two 1¼” x 2½” black (buttonhole) rectangles F – Two 1” x 2½” rectangles (button fabric) G – Two 2½” squares (button fabric) H – Two 6½” x 2½” rectangles (button fabric) J – Four 2¼” background squares. Follow step 4 of the pattern to create a buttonhole unit measuring 2½” square. Cut this unit in half to create two buttonhole units each measuring 1¼” x 2½”. Follow step 5 to create the middle buttonhole section measuring 2½” square. The 'large' buttonhole unit should measure 2½" square Continue with the pattern to make a Large Button Block which measures 6½" square once step 8 is completed. And as an extra bonus if you make two Large Spool and two Large Button blocks..... Four Large Blocks come together .....you can stitch them together to create one big 12" (finished size) Buttons and Spools block. Now that really is an awful lot of fun to be had from one little block pattern. A 12" Buttons and Spools Block. You can find all the blocks from the book HERE or by clicking on the tab at the top of the page. UntiI next time I look forward to seeing your blocks on Instagram (block11buttonsandspools) or in the Flickr Group.

It's my turn to come up with an idea for the month of May for Imagine @ do.Good Stitches charity bee. I have loved the card trick block ever since I first started quilting 16 years ago. I actually pulled out my Singer's Quilting Bible (circa 1997...whew...getting old here) and lo and behold? I still had the quilt block marked! However, I have different sizes planned then the ones in the book. One 12" block and one 9" block! Hopefully, my bee friends won't curse me like they were when they were paper piecing their blocks for Imagination! I plan to share it as a free quilt pattern in the very near future. In the meantime, I will share the tutorial for both blocks. Shuffle The Deck Quilt Free Quilt Pattern .pdf download will come in the near future. Hopefully, I can replace the image below with the real thing in June with all the blocks my bee comrades have won! 12" Card Trick Block {Tutorial} Unfinished 12.5" blocks IMPORTANT: Fabric Choices. I recommend high contrast or value fabrics for this block. Each “card” will stand out more effectively while overlapping. Too low of contrast will cause them to blend more. For the sake of the bee quilt, I am requesting white backgrounds, but I think this would be an amazing quilt with a low volume background print! 1. Cut one 5 1/4" square fabric each of background and four "card" fabrics. A total of five squares. 2. Cut two 4 7/8" square fabric of background and one of each four "card" fabrics. A total of six squares. 3. Cut through the larger squares (5 1/4") twice diagonally to make four sets of triangles. 4. Cut through the smaller squares (4 7/8") once diagonally to make two sets of triangles. Note: the photo below is missing the second background triangle. It fell on the floor when I was taking photos *blush* 5. Layout your triangle to create the overlapping square effect. Use this photo as a guide. Note: You will have two small triangles of each card fabric leftover. Keep them for a future project. I'm planning on using these on the back of the quilt (flying geese?) Stitch your triangles together. Chain-stitching can be your friend. 6. Start with the larger triangles in the corners. Stitch the background triangles to the card triangles. 7. Stitch the marked triangles. Stitch the smaller triangles first. Then stitch the pieced triangle to the larger triangle. 8. Stitch the center block. Stitch two small blocks and then the piece triangles together. 9. Press your triangles and trim off your points. 10. Assemble each row. Then each row to each other. 11. Press block. 9" Card Trick Block {Tutorial} Unfinished 9.5" block Optional sashed block for an unfinished 12.5" block Note: Fabric Choices. I decided to do blocks to show that sometimes your fabric choices might be similar. The pink in this selection has orange and can read orange when cut into triangles. In this case, make sure that the two fabrics are not adjacent to each other and use your other fabrics to have your high contrast! 1. Cut one 4 1/4" square fabric each of background fabric and four "card" fabrics. A total of five squares. 2. Cut two 3 7/8" square fabric of background fabric and one of each four "card" fabrics. A total of six squares Optional Sashing: For the purpose of my quilt design there is sashing to take the 9" block to 12" 3. Cut two 2" x 9.5" strips from background fabric. 4. Cut two 2" x 12.5" from background fabric. 5. Repeat steps 3 through 11 from the 12" block tutorial to have a complete 9" block. The layout is the exact same, just smaller pieces! Optional: Once you have pressed the block, add the 2 short background strips (2"x 9.5") to each side of the 9" card block. Press the seams. Add the 2 longer background strips (2" x 12.5") to the top and bottom. Press block. Hope this tutorial is helpful! Stay tuned for the entire free quilt pattern!
