I am thrilled to be one of the 45 designers taking part in The Glorious Autumn Block Party. There have been so many wonderful blocks presented so far. They would make a beautiful sampler quilt! I'm so happy to have you stop by my blog and check out my 'Oak Wreath ' block. As a designer I find inspiration all around me. To come up with my block that I designed especially for the Glorious Autumn Block Party, I didn't have to look further than my own back yard. I have a majestic Oak Tree right out my back door.
A free PDF copy of 'Oak Wreath' can be found HERE and HERE. I hope that you have fun making my 'Oak Wreath' block.
 |
| This majestic Oak tree graces my backyard. |
 |
| The leaves were just starting to change as I worked on designing my block. It was perfect Minnesota fall weather, sunny and in the low 70's with a slight breeze... love it! |
 |
| I cut 9 4 1/2" blocks to create my background for my block. I'm using Hoffman's Bali Handpaints. |
 |
| I laid my blocks out to create a 9-patch block. |
 |
| Traced leaves on heat and bond, all ready to be ironed onto my contrasting leaf fabric. |
 |
| I arranged the leaves out on to my 9-patch block overlapping stems and leaves to form a wreath. Then I iron them onto the block. |
 |
| The finished block. This would make a lovely wallhanging, pillow, table runner for fall. Make a set of 12 and it would be a fantastic lap quilt for fall. For a different look you could use a cream background with fall colored leaves. I also think this block would look nice with stems quilted on the leaves. Quilting would make this block pop. |

ReplyDeletelovely fabric .... i see some haloween stuff in there for a fussy cut candle mat and there's plenty left over for a table topper and napkins. thanx for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love your wreath block. If I was lucky enough to win, I would make a gorgeous lap quilt with it (that is after I have finished petting the fabrics!),
ReplyDeleteI've been following you for a while but realised I hadn't signed up officially. Now I have! Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove your Oak Wreath! If I had the fabrics in the give-a-way I think I'd put them into a quilt for my son. They say "masculine" to me.
ReplyDeleteIf I won a bundle this cool, I'd love to make a quilt that's just for me! Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteCindy, the block you have designed is lovely as are the colours you have used.
ReplyDeleteI made the block today, time difference allows me to see it early in the day and I spent the afternoon making it. The block will be added to a Sampler lap quilt that I plan to make.
My favorite color pallet!!! I'd make a new cozy lap quilt for me to snuggle under while I watch tv this winter!!! I love your oak leaf block, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the oak leaf tutorial! Leaves are some of my favorite things. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics -- I'd make a lap quilt for my husband. His shoulders get cold when he is sitting up in bed reading. He is "Mr. Earth Tones" so I know he'd love those colors.
I'm now an official follower :)

ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
Love those prints! I think I would make a nice quilted cover/bag for my Nook ereader and maybe a cute little tote bag to match.
ReplyDeleteI am a very happy follower
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful choice. I am so glad I am a follower.
ReplyDeleteIf I win, I am making either a lap quilt, or a bag, or maybe a coin purse or all 3.
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics would most likely become a quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make a lap quilt or use for making a bag. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteHi!!! Love your wreath block!! Very pretty!! Love the purple in it!!!! I am a follower and I would make a shoulder quilt!!! Thanks for the fun!!!1
ReplyDeleteI think I might make something for my husband, as those colors look somewhat masculine. I am a new follower of your blog -- I came over from the Glorious Autumn Block Party! Thanks for taking part and sharing your pattern and Fabric. By the way, your Grandparents quilt (and the story) is wonderful
ReplyDeleteOh I love those fabrics! I am planning a neutrals quilt and would love to add them to this quilt :*)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabric is this? I am having a crush on it as I type. I must have it, really I must. I see a warm snuggle up quilt for my bedroom, adorning my much loved Cracker Barrel Rocker that my son and wife gave me last year for Christmas. Thank you for a chance to win this beautiful fabric and make that quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog via GFC and happily so I must say.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to tweet this giveaway. Your links are not working for me so will do it the hard way (sigh) LOL. I am so tired tonight I am silly. find the tweet over at @jeannegwin
ReplyDeleteHere's the real link

I would make a quilt for my mom.
ReplyDeleteHeather has her own delightful view of the world. My first thought is to make a reversible tote bag. Then I thought it might be fun to design a reversible table mat or wall hanging--one side for Halloween, the other for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI am now a follower!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely leaf wreath block. The batiks look beautiful in it. This is a great blog hop seeing all the designer blocks!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen that fabric line before. Love the Argyle! I would make a quilt for my DH where I didn't cut the fabric too small.
I'm a follower :-)
ReplyDeleteI just collected some oak leaves to trace so that I can make some mug rugs, coffe copies and placemats with the oak leaf appliqué. Love your oak leaf wreath. Thanks for giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices! I'd make a duvet cover for my parents.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics would make a great guy quilt. Given the fact that I have 4 sons and an amazing husband, I think one of them might have a quilt from them. They would also make nice looking table runner and matching placemats as well because they are such great neutral colors that would go well with any decor. Hmmmmm I might have to make a decision which way I'd actually go if I am lucky enough to win.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower via GFC as well as by email. I know I've been to your site many times in the past but never actually "followed" so now I am.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a great looking wreath tutorial. I love the fabrics you've used.
What a very pretty block. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful fabrics. I can see the tan and black fabrics as a boys shirt and the others as a girls skirt.
I am a follower
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower and look forward to seeing you wonderful designs. That fabric is perfect for a manly quilt, and I think I would use it in a quilt for my one of my grandson's if I won.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and would absolutely love to make a sweet quilt for my daughter who just started ODU and who I miss very much.
ReplyDeleteBecause I am always looking for great "male" fabrics, those would make a terrific start to a quilt for one of the many men in my life ( I have only boys, and 3 older brothers!!), I have often used charm squares like that with two other neutrals, making mini borders around each of the charm squares, and then sewing them checkerboard style style. That charm pack would make a very stylish looking lap size quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like the little snow flakes that are following on your blog page. At first I thought it was something on my computer screen! I am also a follower!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great block with the leaves.... real autumn leaves and its screams autumn with those colors !
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics to win are so beautiful. If I would win I'm going to make a quilt, don't know the pattern yet but I think it will just be a simple block, because the fabrics are too beautiful to cut into small pieces :-)
I was already a follower.
