Week 51 - Buttercup

Hi there, well did you think that I had fallen off the planet and left the past two blocks undone? I have to be honest, these last two blocks have given me quite a few headaches. Not because they are difficult - because they aren’t - just trying to decide on the last two has been a tricky choice. Throw in a touch of procrastination and then a Level 4 lockdown and here we are.

I really hope that the lockdown has been okay for you and that you’ve had a chance to get some relaxing sewing done.

This weeks block is called Buttercup. I really like it as the 6" block and but the 12” block looks kind of huge to me. Just personal preference of course. What you can do is make four 6” blocks and sew them together to make the 12” block.

We have made other 12” blocks this way, so just an option.

Here are a couple of layout options to use this block as a quilt. Would look lovely is soft pastel spring colours.

Okay, our final block will be up on the blog this afternoon - wahoo! I have almost finished my 6” red and cream layout option and will bombard you with images really soon.

Have a great day , Christine
