The Old Craft Store is starting an Applique Block of the Month!! "Spring Sprouts"

 

Designed by: Laundry Basket Quilts  This beautiful quilt finishes at 42" x 53". (scroll to the end for sign-up information) Inspiration for our kit comes from a Pinterest pin. I (Naomi) really liked the bright colors and green sashing on the outside pieces. Spring Sprouts pinterest pin  I chose a soft green for the outside sashings, a light pink for the inner sashings, and a cream "Spotted" for the applique block backgrounds. Here is a sampling of the fabrics I have chosen for the flowers and leaves. More are likely to be added. Some of these fabrics will also be used for the joining stars in the sashing. The pattern is written so that you may use your favorite applique technique. Directions for fusible applique, machine applique, and hand applique are given.  Also, reversed pattern shapes are provided for fusible applique. (Just as a little note, I am stitching the store sample with back-basting needle turn.) Kits are limited.
