Peace Quilt Block

 Last week I carved out a little time to sew the Peace quilt block.

 It's a fusible applique pattern.  I like to use Heat 'n Bond Lite for my fusible applique.

 I iron all of my fabrics before applying the fusible web.  This is the back of the green I used for the leaves and stems, ready to press.

 I enjoy the process of cutting out the pieces.  These are the red flower petals.

 In this stage I am sorting out the pieces on my ironing board and preparing to fuse them to the background block.

All the pieces have been applied to the background.  The next step will be sewing a tiny zigzag stitch over the edges of each patch.  

 The Peace quilt block pattern is available in my Etsy shop, here:  Peace Applique Quilt Block Pattern

 When it is finished, it will be a nice companion to my Hope quilt block.  I'm planning on sewing four different applique blocks and putting them together into a small quilt.

The Hope quilt block pattern is also available in my Etsy shop, here:  Hope Quilt Block Pattern

Star Crossed Part One

Disclaimer:  The products in this post were given to my by Island Batik at no cost to me.

 My Island Batik Ambassador challenge for August is Star Light, Star Bright.  I've been working on it in between getting my three boys back to school.  One to college, one to high school, and the fourth grader is starting on this coming Monday.  I'm excited about the design for Star Crossed.  You can see my design idea, along with some of the new Island Batik fabrics above.

 I was able to cut all of my pieces out with the Accuquilt Go.  So quick, precise, and easy to use.  

I used the 8" qube and a couple of strip dies to cut out my quilt.

 Then I began a lot of chain piecing!  I'm making sets of twelve blocks each in three different colorways, purple, pink, and lavender.

 Here is my design wall showing many of the block units.

 This is one of the finished blocks.  Can you figure out how it is going to become a star?  I'll reveal the whole quilt in a future post.  I've just finished the quilting, so the big reveal should be in the next week or so.  Stay tuned!
