My machine has a 5x7 hoop so I'm limited to 5 inch blocks. All blocks on the quilt will have a center machine embroidered design. This makes stitching it together a breeze :)
I've been stitching blocks for a couple weeks now. The square blocks are 36 blocks in various quilt patterns in candlewicking. I very much like these and know they're going to be great on my quilt!!! All the designs on the quilt will be digitized by me :) This set is available on HeartStrings Embroidery under the Quilt Block category.
The round blocks are called Compass Quilt blocks and can be found on HeartStrings Embroidery also. These are stitched on 2 pieces of muslin with flannel layered in between. I choose flannel over batting because batting doesn't rag well and makes a mess! lol I thought about Warm & Natural but when I compared it to this flannel, there wasn't much difference in the weight and flannel was half the cost. I ordered in a bolt of this flannel and am just waiting for it to come in.
I'm not being overly original with color. I have choosen to do only 4 colors - blue, maroon, green and tan for the blocks. All blocks will be one color and the homespun blocks will be tone on tone.
