I am so excited to have my block appear in Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 6! This issue is jam packed with amazing blocks that will make you want to get your sewing on!!
And one of those blocks is my Shabby Spin block!! This block combines applique and piecing, which I just had so much fun with. The Shabby part of the name comes from the raw edge applique, so fun when it gets a little ruff around the edges after washing.
And the Spin part of the name . . . well the quilt layout show that off. Don't you just love how it keeps your eye spinning around the quilt.
I just love the way the block looks when joined together! And there are endless design possibilities playing with color and layout. In fact, I am currently playing with my block layout using these prints and colors from P & B Textiles. More to come :)
So that's Shabby Spin! I hope you like it :) Be sure to follow the 100 Blocks Blog Tour every day from Nov 5-9 at The Quiltmaker Blog Quilty Pleasures to see all of the blocks and have a chance at lots and lots of giveaways!
