Quiltmaker magazine is hosting a blog tour this week for designers who have blogs in their newest release of
100 Blocks
My block is named the Barn Swallow Block
I was inspired to design this block from watching the birds, Barn Swallows, as they swoop down to ground to catch insects!! These are some unique birds!! Have you ever watched them? It never fails when someone is mowing the lawn, especially with a tractor, these birds swoop right down in front and behind the tractor!! I'm fascinated by this, so I decided to design a block.
Now here are two layouts I designed using the blocks. I will not be piecing the borders, just thought I would show you what I came up with.
This one is a little more colorful, but can you find the block?
This quilt design is the original color way...the block can be paper pieced or made with templates. Paper Piecing is easier, it does not waste as much fabric as the template method...ask me how I know, LOL!!
Quiltmaker's 100 Block's vol 7 will be out on newsstands any day!! Here is the issue cover!!
So, go check out the other blogs that are on the tour!! Here is the link for you to begin the fun!!
