Regular ol' children's books turn into banned children’s books for any number of reasons. Sometimes, you have to use your imagination to think about what might inspire parental vitriol: perhaps a topless beachgoer in Where's Waldo, or same-sex…
I managed to get it done! Foundation pieced. Trace or print the block diagram onto your foundation paper, number, and cut out as in the photo. Foundation piece all the sections. Trim seam allowances to 1/4". As you may have noticed, I had the pieces positioned incorrectly in the above photo. Make sure that you sew them together the right way. Attach the small square sections to the small rectangular sections. Then sew the resulting sections to the center section.

You have to mirror this diagram. I didn't. But I'm not remaking the block. Print or trace the block diagram onto foundation paper, number, and cut out as in the photo. You have to mirror the diagram. Foundation piece each section and trim the seam allowances to 1/4". Sew together the three center sections. Attach the side sections. Add the top and bottom sections. Finally attach the long sides.

Introducing Jane Crowfoot’s stunning new Indigo Dreams Blanket CAL, in association with Inside Crochet magazine and Stylecraft yarns. Taking inspiration from a beautiful, traditional bedspread, found whilst teaching her Knit for Peace workshops in India, and combining its decadent design and indigo printed block pattern with traditional patchwork blankets, Jane has created another masterpiece that we know crocheters will adore. The CAL will run across five issues of Inside Crochet magazine, starting in the October issue. The CAL aims to be a must-make project for keen crocheters throughout the winter months. First part published in Issue 141 which is on sale 21st October.

This block drove me up the walls! It certainly made me see the advantages of hand piecing. If Jane had had a sewing machine this quilt would NEVER have happened. So here's what I ended up doing after many unsuccessful attempts at "real" piecing. Print or trace the block diagram onto foundation paper, number, and cut out as in the photo. Foundation piece all the numbered sections and trim their seam allowances to 1/4". Assemble the center section of the block. Sew the four outside sections together as in the photo. Stop sewing the seams on the four inside corners 1/4" before the edge of the fabric. Lay the center block section right side up on the table. Lay the "frame" section on top, carefully placing it into position. Leaving the foundation paper on at this point will help with placement. Baste into position making sure you leave room to turn under the seam allowance. This is going to be very close to the edge of the fabric. Applique the two sections together. I think this is my new motto: When all else fails, applique.

This Climbing Rose Wrap was based on a William Morris wallpaper design known as Molly Blue, which had the floral elements Jane was looking for, but also totally summed up the colour palette she wanted to use. Jane really enjoyed interpreting elements of Morris’s fabric design in her crochet. The flowers within the original design are not easy to identify exactly, so she looked at traditional Victorian garden flowers and used these as the basis for the motifs, hence the fact that they are called Day Lily, Rambling Rose and Anemone. The patterns for this project were originally published in Inside Crochet magazine between August and November 2019. This download contains patterns in UK and US terminology with the option of a 1 page per A4 side version or 2 page per A4 side version. Images courtesy of Inside Crochet/Leanne Dixon.

I wanted to do a nice post regarding this quilt because I love it and have really torn feelings about selling it. I obviously do not need another quilt and if I kept this one I would have to purge another one from my collection - which I'm not ready to do yet. But, I'm telling you... this is a difficult decision! Anyway, I love the way this quilt turned out. I find that kind of funny since I'm not a real "blue" lover, but there is just something about this quilt that is irresistible to me. I don't say that about any of my quilts, just so you know. The quilting on it is very simple... just a horizontal wavy line across the entire quilt. I'm babbling I know... ok, I'll stop. It's in the shop! ...(unless I change my mind - I know, I'm pathetic!) Take care,
