Pat Sloan's I Love To Make Quilts

In the Summer Time FREE Block #17

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies

Today I celebrate a wonderful summer memory...  

Block #17 is 'Catching Fireflies' .. Twinkling beatles, also called, lightening bugs are magical in the summer.

One year a tree in our backyard was covered in them for about 30 minutes, it was crazy fun to see!

Do you have fireflies in your area? I understand they may be somewhat regional

A few people asked me about my farmer's market quilt so I wanted you to be able to get it. My book will also teach you all you need to know about fusible applique!

FIND my Farmer's market in my APPLIQUE Book

DIGITAL Version at a very reasonable price

With all the summer time activities starting up, my bonus project is a fast table runner you can use to showcase 3 blocks.

I am at the point where the color planning is tight, which makes it fun for me. I needed to repeat the gold in this block and went for a heavy amount of it. I also used the bigger floral again.  As I do each of the last blocks I'll see what needs repeated from blocks above. 

After the 20th block we'll have one more week and I'll share an easy border option. You don't have to do a border but I am.

It was POURING yesterday and all of a sudden the sun came out!

So I was racing the weather to get the block sewn into the row

And the row into the top! I'm VERY excited about this.

I am doing to do a border for this one. I want it for mine. So if you also want it, it will be after the last block is released. So there are 5 more weeks to go!
