Homespun Block of the Month 2024 – Sunshine & Lollipops
Finished size: 184cm (72½in) square
Stitches used: Backstitch, cross stitch, couching, detached chain (lazy daisy) stitch, French knot, running stitch, satin stitch
Note: Materials required for the entire project were listed in Part 1, published in Homespun 25.1 (February/ March 2024 issue). The print fabrics are fat quarters from the Tilda Jubilee and Farm Flowers ranges. Requirements are based on fabric 107cm (42in) wide, except for the Devonstone white cotton/linen blend fabric, which is 137cm (54in) wide. To make your quilt unique and to achieve a scrappy look, select fabrics from your assorted prints at random to sew each block. Use the photos of Anni’s quilt as a guide or just pick and choose as you like. The appliqué method used is needleturn, but you can adapt the instructions to your preferred method. Seam allowances of ¼in are used throughout for the piecing. Two strands of embroidery thread are used throughout unless otherwise stated.
