ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely block! I have vol 2 & 3. I am planning to get vol 4. I wish I have vol 1; but, I do not. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love this one and marked it in my mag as a TO DO. I didn't get to Test it but really wish it was on my list when I saw it. My guest post on stashmanicure is inspired by a block I test for vol4
ReplyDeleteLynne, Your block is beautiful! Love the colors, fabrics, and design!
ReplyDeleteJust love all you do. L
ReplyDeleteYour block is interesting and I especially like that you combined some applique in what appears to be an all-pieced block.

ReplyDeleteBeing a Kansan I love all the Kansas blocks.. love it.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are full of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDown to earth tones. They are my second favorite. Kansas Quilts are unique in their own ways. We Kansans tend to keep it down to earth and homey. Very lovely block!
ReplyDeleteNice colours used in the block. Probably would make that one also, as I love the traditional blocks more to be used in some of my quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove the block, love the fabric. Have worked on your patterns all year through Prairie Stitches in Oswego, Il. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs, and this one is no different! It will get me to finally try just a tiny bit of raw edge applique...I'm a diehard needleturner, who needs to get pushed out of her box!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled onto your blog this morning and I have really enjoyed looking through it. Congratulations on having your block included in Vol. 4!! Now I am getting ancy to try some raw edge applique on a pieced block. Thanks for the inspiration!
