My Favorite Quilt Block Blog Hop


I'm happy to be participating in another fun hop organized by Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks!

Here's the list of today's participants:

__________________________________________

I haven't done enough quilting to have that much experience with different quilt blocks. But there are blocks that I've seen that I wanted to try. One of them was a free block offered by the site formerly known as Craftsy (now Blueprint). I had downloaded the pattern sometime in 2018 I think, but never did anything with it. I thought it would be perfect for this hop.

The block is called "May Flowers" and here's the link to the pattern. And here's a picture of my sewn block:


The final block size is 8.5", so I decided to turn mine into a 8.5" x 12" mug rug.

  10. An adorable mugrug for sure, my guess is that changing the colors in the different areas will also affect how you could layout this design into a larger project, but even doing the colors as you have would give a very dimensional affect to the block. Thanks for sharing today Elizabeth.

  26. Aww, how cute! We made some of these blocks for our Hearts & Flowers quilts that we present to guild members who have experienced a loss/hardship. I like the idea of using this as a mug rug!
