Block #5 is sweet and cold, the Ice-Cream Parlour! I can't wait to hear your stories about ice-cream, but first.. a photo.
On our travels I'm lucky to be able to 'test out' many darling ice cream places. This was a stop years ago in Ridgeway PA. The 'Two Scoops' was such a cute shop.
What is your Favorite Flavor?
TIP for trimming:
- I really like using this Simple Folded Corners ruler. Makes a nice clean cut and I don't ever slip!
- Place the first horizontal line on the seam
- trim

TIP for piecing:
Often when piecing we just layer the units and ZOOM! But some blocks require us to step it down a notch or two on the speed. If you take a few seconds to do this you'll nail those intersections.
- Align so that the 1/4" is at the point where the top and bottom units meet. Use a ruler to measure that 1/4" as accuracy does count here.
- Put a pin to hold them.
- Now peek and see that you have hit the bottom in the right spot.
- Sew the seam!
I'm having such fun with the Country Store fabric, it really feels like Americana!
how do you like my Garden Gnomes?
The cheeky fabric is like working with cotton candy, I am so in love with these blocks!

- 1.5 yds of white with little red dots
- 1 yd red dots that is in the FQ bundle is now sold out. So if you want to do similar to me select another red print or just wait until you make a few blocks and decide.
- 2 yds Roses & dots to use as a full border. The quilt layout will not have a solid border but I will put a solid border on this one as I love this dot and rose print! - pick the shade you love. OR wait and see the border option. This fabric will go quickly
