i was asked to design a 6" x 6" block using a traditional combination of red, green, and white fabric. after some thought i decided to go with simple patchwork to compliment the traditional set of fabrics i was given. simple patchwork + "piece of candy" shaped block = sweet tooth. :) head on over to the Free Spirit blog for the entire block tutorial.
the final block tutorial will be posted on Friday and the entire quilt (plus a great giveaway!) will be revealed Monday! you can find all of the block tutorials on the Free Spirit blog as well as an e-book that will be released soon.
anyone up for a giveaway? woohoo! i'm super excited to get to giveaway one design roll of Denyse Schmidt's new line, Chicopee! just leave a comment below to enter -- winner will be announced next Wednesday!
good luck!
xo, megan.
