Pat Sloan's I Love To Make Quilts

In the Summer Time FREE Block #12

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies

I had fun thinking about this weeks topic and would love for you to share some stories... the GOOD ones.. wink!  

Block #12 is 'Family Reunions!'

Do you have them now? In the past? Do you have a super favorite story about where Uncle Harry did... mmmm.. maybe that isn't a good one to share.. haha!

Share your Family Reunion story with me in the comments.... and keep reading...I have a tip for you on fussy cutting

I decided it was a pineapple kind of day, so I fussy cut them by placing the ruler JUST under the stems before I cut.

to duplicate this for any fabric,

• Pick a spot on a fabric that you can see on each, like the area under the pineapple rim. 
• Line up the ruler
• Be sure the fabric is going the same direction for each one you cut.

And I like to audition the block before sewing

It helps me keep the pieces in the right order since I wanted ALL the pineapples to go the same way except one.

Can you spot the renegade?

Putting just the block in repeat, then turning it gives a great alternate image.

I'd LOVE to do this one so I can play with color to create an alternate image, I have a coloring page too so you can try out combinations.
