VALENTINES - SEW SIMPLICITY BLOCK


Today I spent my afternoon making this Valentines topper.  I just love this topper and you can find it in my craftsy shop on the sidebar.  The fabrics are from Island Batik "Full Bloom", the background fabric is from another source.

Then as most of you know I am part of the Sew Simplicity BOM  hop, this block is is the bonus 
block 1, I loved it so much I decided to just make a quilt from this one block.  So far I have 4 completed blocks and a ton of half square triangles to square up.


Which brings me to Jacquelynne Steves Sew Simplicity.  She is hosting a catch up day Saturday the 10th. on facebook, instagram, and her blog.  There will be a lot of fun surprises, chatting, and catching up if you are behind.  So won't you join us?

It is suppose to be 18 degrees tonight...I say I say...burrrrrr

  1. I love your purple blocks. It's going to get down to -2 tonight here with wind chills down to -20F. I'm thinking of moving south! LOL

  3. The Valentine quilt is beautiful! I am impressed by how perfectly you've got those valentines. They can't be easy to applique so well.

  4. Really beautiful Valentine's Day topper.Lovely fabrics. While perfect design for valentine's day, wouldn't it be a sweet design for decorating tables at a Wedding Reception, or Anniversary celebration? Heck, it would be beautiful anytime of the year.

    The Sew Simplicity BOM hop is great fun. Beautiful design and fun to see the variety of fabrics and colors.
