QAF Block of the Month
March 2009
Puss in the Corner
10 1/2" (unfinished), 10"(finished)
Spring is almost here, so they tell me, despite a fall of snow here and there and icy winds. Brrrr! I just had a patio put in, and so I am thinking of the garden a lot lately. I have bulbs popping up everywhere, and that's my inspiration this month for this block. Coloring the Puss in the Corner block with spring-like pastels and a grassy green, maybe we can bring hopeful smiles to our faces, if not actual Spring in our gardens.
You can raid your scrap bags for these blocks - you will need 1 piece of a spring green and 4 different clear pastel fabrics. They can be TOT, including batiks, or can be small prints that 'read' like a clear pastel. If in doubt, look at the block and quilt pictures here, and/or ask on the forum. We are putting these together with a good quality muslin. This quilt will be a fresh look at a very traditional block.
As always, please use washed and pressed quilter's quality 100% cotton fabrics. You may make up to 3 blocks from the same group of fabrics, and you may enter up to 3 blocks in the BOM lottery.
Cut for each block:
