I hope you are enjoying the wonderful Red, White and Blue inspiration on this blog hop. I am in the company of so many talented quilters. I am amazed by the lovely projects I have seen so far. A big thank you to Jane and Madame Samm for organizing this fun blog hop and for letting me participate once again.
I have a fun quilt block to share with you all today.
I machine quilted my little table quilt using gold metallic thread. I like how diagonal quilt lines contrast with block patterns. The middle block took some thinking. I didn't want to quilt over the flower design and take attention away from it so I opted to outline the flower twice to make it pop. I also did a little decorative stitch around the edge of the block for more interest.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my creation. For added fun today, I am offering a giveaway to you hoppers. I am offering a $10.00 gift certificate to The Fat Quarter Shop. For a chance to win, please leave a comment on this post telling me you are interested. You do not have to be a follower, but please make sure you leave me a way to contact you. I will draw a winner on Saturday, July 14.
There is more fun up ahead. Here is the schedule for today.
July 7th

Take Care Friends!

Happy Hop Day! Great block. I also love to work with squares. There are so many things you can do with them. Love the middle fabric. Has a mod 70's feel to it. You did a wonderful job. Thanks for playing!
Thanks for sharing with us all. I can so see myself using this quilt block some time. Great job!
This is one of those terrifically versatile blocks that can be like a chameleon: change the color/value placement and it's a whole 'nother block. The glitzy metallic thread really dresses up the center motif. Lovely!
Another lovely block on the hop! Enjoy your post today and look forward to seeing more of your blocks...Judith, Reynolds
Hey, the square block is the base of all blocks! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us today.
