SHOT COTTON PLUS

Yesterday I managed a few minutes in my sewing room and finished piecing the blocks for this quilt.
I'm stopping at 20 blocks which will give me a nice lap size quilt


I hope to be able to show you a finished quilt soon : )

After shoving the scraps aside cleaning up a bit, I found my 100 modern blocks book and made a couple more blocks.

#40


#41


I'm nearly half way there!

Have yourself a lovely week end

I adore those “plus” blocks. I really look forward to seeing the finished quilt. Every time I think I know what I’m going to start next, you post something awesome and I change my mind! :)

Your city sampler blocks are awesome as well!

Hi Carla! I love this quilt top! Fantastic fabrics/colours and the block is Super! My hb doesn't like plus blocks as he sees there Cross but I could make these x putting the blocks in point. Thank you for sharing inspiration! x Teje

Shot cottons are one of my favorite fabrics. These look great with the low volume backgrounds. Another beautiful quilt Carla!

Love the Plus blocks! The colour palette is quite Autumnal, don't you think?

That first quilt is incredible! The internet isn't cooperating at the moment and the second quilt photo wouldn't load, but knowing your work, it is surely gorgeous too.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Your 'plus' quilt looks nice, fun and bright.

Carla said...

*********Liz, I used an older block measurement. If you google plus block several should come up. You need to add an e-mail address to your profile so people can reply to you ; )
