Our Blocks
As we shared in month one, Chelsi is making a red, white and blue sampler using our Raspberry Summer fabric collection. I’m also sewing along with Raspberry Summer but am making a red and green Christmas version. You can see all of our blocks from month 1 and month 2 above with our four blocks from this month in the center photo.

I love this book, so am loving playing along with you. I am using a Moda collection called Afternoon Tea, and I also have one of your older layer cakes called Summer Sweet, so am adding that in. I made all 4 of the blocks at one time, and plan to go ahead with the next batch. Am enjoying your podcasts, and have several of your patterns. As an older citizen (83) I try to keep up with all things new. Keep up the good work.
