I wish you all a lot of patience today, because personally me this block drove crazy. I made and remade it 6 times!

Let's go. Cut:

- 3 BG strips 0,75'' x 8''
- 7 BG strips 0,75'' x 5''

A little piece of Ancient Greece

Every quilt has a personal story, each one has a soul and it's own silent speech.
Every time I hold a customer quilt, I imagine how carefully the other hands holded it, chose the fabrics, made cuts, sewed and pressed with a great love. Almost every quilt is done for a present for the most beloved people which is even more priceless with all the best and warmest feelings put inside.

Release 13: Dear Jane. Block E10: Five&Dime

Welcome to our Wednesday block!
Today we will be sewing one more applique block. I guess everyone chose the technique that fits you best with the previous applique block, so let's skip this moment.
As the first time, I will show you machine applique.

Cut

- two colored squares 3'' x 3''
- two BG squares 3'' x 3''
- leftover for applique details

For those who use interfacing - it is time to stick it to the fabric. You may stick it to the applique piece and to BG squares.
